Brendan Gallagher

The world of the aviation media is mourning the sudden loss of Brendan Gallagher (60) just a week ago.  A product of St Philip's Grammar School, Birmingham, the jovial and always smiling Brendan held various posts at Flight International from 1973 onwards and was also with Aeronautical Satellite News for a lengthy period.

Brendan had just returned from a tour of aviation companies in Istanbul on behalf of Arabian Aerospace and only two weeks ago was ensconced at EBACE Geneva tapping away at a news computer terminal.

“Brendan is one of the best known names in our industry,” said Arabian Aerospace Editor Alan Peaford. “His diligence on every story and his passion for the industry and the people in it are legendary and everyone who was ever interviewed by him appreciated his charm and knowledge.  He mentored so many young journalists and was an inspiration to everybody that worked with him.  His untimely death is a tragedy."

Gallagher is survived by his wife Veronica and three children Meg, Ellie and Cieran.
