ADRIAN MARTIN-POPE REMEMBERED

Adrian Martin-Pope sadly passed away in the early hours of Friday, 7th January 2022, following a long period of ill health. A highly respected resident of Ridlington for 15 years, Adrian leaves behind his wife, Val to whom he had been married for 65 years. Before moving to Ridlington, he and Val lived and worshipped in Wing for 30 years.

Adrian was a conservative man, a kind and gentle soul of many talents; he served in the RAF for 25 years retiring as a Squadron Leader. Previous to that, he had worked in a team to develop the Olympus engine for both the Tornado and Concorde. During his retirement, he enjoyed travelling and took his wife to Singapore, where he had once served.

Adrian’s funeral was held at St. Peter and St. Paul’s Church, Wing and was also available to be streamed by friends and family across the globe, including Australia and New Zealand. He will be sadly missed – may he rest in peace.
