Retired insurance professional, 73, was en route to Australia with his wife for six-week holiday when plane hit by severe turbulence
The British passenger who died after a flight to Singapore was hit by severe turbulence has been named as a 73-year-old grandfather, Geoffrey Kitchen.
Kitchen, a retired insurance professional turned amateur dramatics performer, had travelled to Singapore on Monday on the 10pm flight from Heathrow.
He and his wife, Linda, were to stop over en route to Australia, where they planned to enjoy a six-week holiday, neighbours told the Guardian.
Kitchen, originally from Bristol, had lived in Thornbury, Gloucestershire, most of his life, moving into his current semi-detached home in 2012.
