The aviation community in the Isle of Man is mourning the loss of one of its' great characters.

Manx Festival of Aviation organiser Winston Oliver died last week after a long battle with cancer, and his funeral is being held tomorrow in Bristol.

Fittingly, friend Ray Wells has chartered an aeroplane to get mourners from the Island to the funeral:
