Matt died in January 2014 over 10 years ago but aircrew and passengers are still dying, falling severely or suffering long term disabilities from breathing toxic cabin air and its been known about for over 70 years.

Thanks for the support every one has given to Matt’s campaign  it has helped tremendously in highlighting the problem to MPs and others and raising the issue at the highest political levels. It has also led to the CAA being forced to publish fume event data on their web site, information, they had been refusing to release even under Freedom of Information requests, even though this information is inaccurate and misleading. Now we have the support of  the UK’s largest union, Unite, and with your continued support we will reach our ultimate goal, to make the government, regulator and airlines stop people being killed by toxic cabin air

Matthews final Coroners hearing was on 30th April 2018 over 4 years after his death and opened the door for further litigation which has resulted in Unite the Union supporting over 200 cases against 8 airlines on behalf of cabin crew members whose health has been affected by toxic cabin air.

Matthew died on the 30th January 2014 and his funeral was on the 13th February and was laid to rest at his brothers, Charles T, home in Finland on Saturday the 12th of April where he is close to his beloved nephews Eliel and Axel and his loving sister-in-law Jenni and of course his brother. There were bubbles all round as Matthew would have expected and wanted at the funeral and the laying of his ashes. An apple tree has been planted with his ashes and will be cared for by his brother, nephews Eliel and Axel and Jenni, so he lives on. When the apples are ready we were going to make cider and celebrate with Matthew under the tree, well we would have done but his nephews got there first……
