Oldguy Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 Andrew Hyett, A.K.A. Hyett6420, died at 4:43 Zulu this morning in London. In October 2023 he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and given 6 months to live. He took the 6 he was given and added 9 more of his own to it through his inherent ability to over achieve. With his husband, Andrew Dunning, by his side through all of those 15 months, he lived and enjoyed what time he had. From flying his beloved Mooney, G-OBAL, to a WW II Supermarine Spitfire, he took to the skies as long as he was able. I was privileged to fly on 2 such Mooney flights with him last year and will never forget them. There will be more information coming on his service at a later date, but I wanted to let everyone know we lost a good friend today. 15 Quote
EricJ Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 Sorry to hear. Thanks for the update. I will miss his posts and humor. :'( 1 Quote
neilpilot Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 Becky & I visited with Andrew & Andrew several times over the past few years, whenever we found ourselves in the UK. Our most recent visit was in September which coincided with one of his many recent hospital stays. Throughout the past year, both Andrews made the most of the time they had left together. Sad to see him go, but I suspect he's still flying high.... 4 Quote

mike_elliott Posted February 12 Report Posted February 12 We lost a kind gentleman who put everyone and his love of flight above himself always. I will toast you at the next QB meeting Andrew blue skies Quote

MB65E Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 He took the most beautiful photos. I remember this photo he took on a hike. It was this purple lavender field in a forest at sunrise. The camera captured the dew on the lavender through the sunlight. Just about as spectacular as you could imagine. He posted it on the site, but the early photos no longer exist. His Mooney upgrades were just as nice! All the best to his family, -Matt Quote
