UNCLASSIFIED

All,

I have just been informed of the passing of ex CPOATWO Jim Hill who finally succumbed to cancer and passed away early this morning at Berry Hospital.

Jim was heavily involved in the Fleet Air Arm Museum and at ALBATROSS Air Days and was the Chief Armourer on 817 Sqn when I served there back in the late 70's.

Details for Jim's funeral are still being finalised, howeevr I undertand there will be a memorial service at the FAA Museum followed by a service at the Worrigee Crematorium. Once I have final details I will pass them on.
