Read MoreYou have been a name that I have known since I was a child in the 70's. No one would ever need to introduce you since everyone knew who you were.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Captain Robert Bragg's passing. I have researched the Tenerife accident for many years and watched Captain Bragg in all the documentaries he appeared in. Thank you for your heroism and bravery. May God bless you kind sir and may you rest in eternal peace...
