Obituary

 Glenn Lewington, well
known in the travel industry
as an airline personality
and also popular as a radio
presenter on Classic FM, died
on August 16.
Glenn worked as cabin crew
for Luxavia in the 1980s and
when the airline closed, he
joined Sun Air as sales and
marketing manager. This
was followed by a spell as
a presenter at SABC. He
was appointed marketing
manager at Kenya Airways
and then pursued his love of
aviation at Skyclass Aviation,
which operated charter flights
with SAA’s classic DC4s
and a DC3. He returned to
broadcasting as a presenter
with Classic FM, a position
he held at the time of his
death.
Glenn had many interests
– music, reading, aviation,
photography, cooking,
writing and travel. He was
passionate about the
outdoors and his three dogs.
He also wrote travel articles.
Shianne de Lange,
international account
manager at Comair, described
Glenn as someone with a
terrific sense of humour. “He
would often recount some
of the funny incidents of
passengers and crew that
would have me in hysterics.
His memory of incidents
never failed to amaze me and
he always added a humorous
touch to his story. That was
the gift of journalism that he
carried throughout his life.”
He is survived by his
mother,
