In 2015 a group of former British Caledonian Pilots, Flight Engineers and Cabin Crew formed a committee with the object of continuing the annual reunions along the lines of those previously organised by Captain Denis McQuoid and the other BCal Flight Deck Mutual Fund trustees.
We intend to follow the 40 year tradition of holding the event on the last Friday in September each year. |
Two of the old Mutual Fund trustees, Captain Eddie Lord and Flight Engineer Laurie Griffiths, joined the new reunion organising committee in October 2015. Also on the committee were Flight Engineers Dick Angel and John Yeomans, Captain Phil Benson and three Cabin Crew: Sarah Thirlby-Smith, Tracey Milton and Sarah Hosford (Sarah Thomlinson in earlier BCal days).
Sadly, Laurie Griffiths passed away in June 2016. Eddy Lord left the committee in August 2016.
Sarah Thirlby-Smith left the committee in November 2018 but continues to run this website and we had to say goodbye to John Yeomans who died unexpectedly after a severe heart attack in December 2018.
In February 2019 Tracey Milton stepped down from the committee due to work pressures.
The reunion committee now consists of Sarah Hosford (Thomlinson), Dick Angel, and Phil Benson.

Our aim |
The new organising committee decided in 2015 that future reunions should be officially for former BCal Cabin Crew as well as the Pilots and Flight Engineers that the old Flight Deck Mutual Fund reunions were originally set up for.

Onwards & upwards |
After organising three successful reunions in 2016, 2017 and 2018 we plan to continue organising the event annually for many more years to come. If there is anything you would like to mention to us about future events, please contact us by email at bcalreunion@gmail.com
