'Chris was a top lad liked by everybody'
RAF colleagues today praised the young Sheffield serviceman killed in southern Afghanistan – paying tribute to his professionalism and sense of humour.
Christopher Bridge, who had successfully completed his Trainee Gunner Course at RAF Honington and was posted to 51 Squadron RAF Regiment at RAF Lossiemouth, Moray, on November 18 2005, was described as popular, well liked and funny.
He had served in southern Iraq between January and June 2006 providing Force Protection for Basra International Airport and had been providing Force Protection for Kandahar Airfield since April 2007 as part of Operation HERRICK.
