Clive Hardiman 1949- 2011
Clive died at home on the 22nd of December after his battle with
cancer.
The funeral was held at Bromyard on the 4th January. The Strut & HAC were well represented
& Denis gave a very spirited flying tribute to Clive.
Clive was a stalwart at Shobdon for many
years, before moving on in 2000.
For many years he was the only PFA Inspector in the area & was
always very enthusiastic & helpful to home builders. He was a huge help to me in 1995 when I arrived at Shobdon with a
half built Avid Flyer G-BVLW which he allowed to be completed at the back of his hangar.
Over the
years I got involved helping Clive rebuild a Jet Provost, rebuild a scrap Tiger Moth that was filmed in the "English Patient"
and
many other projects.
