From George Banks
I knew Linda and Renee, and flew with both of them often on BCAL Coastal Africa routes among many. Both were very professional in the cabin and very kind to me as a new Catering Supt /Mgr. Africa who learnt a lot from their customer service approach to the passenger. RIP Linda
From Coreen Wilcox
Very sad. I remember flying with Linda and her sister Renee. My sincere condolences to her family and loved ones. Rest in peace Linda
From Patricia Gough
Very sad to hear of Linda’s passing and sending condolences to her friends and family. We flew many times together when she was a No 1 and later Flightie on the VC-10 and 707. Always professional, calm and immaculately turned out. I remember trips to Africa and also one to Ascension Island. I also flew with Renee, but not as often and remember their younger sister joining. I believe she opened a plant Nursery after retiring from BCAL. RIP Linda.
From Rhoda Pearman
I remember Linda & Renee Palmer well when I joined BUA in 1971. RIP Linda you were a very lovely lady.
From Alison Dewar nee Murray
Was so saddened to read of Linda’s passing. Had the pleasure of flying with her several times 1972 - 1977. Linda was one of the friendliest, kindest people. Fly high Linda.
