A Wiltshire Air Ambulance pilot who was 'much admired' has died after a short battle with cancer.
Rob Collingwood, 42, joined Wiltshire Air Ambulance in 2016 following his career in the British Army, where he flew Lynx helicopters in the Army Air Corps.
He passed away yesterday (Tuesday, 4th April) following a short battle with cancer.
In a statement, Wiltshire Air Ambulance paid tribute to the pilot: "Rob loved working for the charity, and the staff loved him. He was so passionate about our cause and understood the importance of being a team player.
"He had a real passion for environmental sustainability, a strong faith and was always positive.
"Most of all, Rob enjoyed keeping the team fed with his famous South African braais (barbeques).
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Rob’s wife, children, family and friends at this time. The charity will be providing support to all our staff during this period of mourning."
