David Phillimore, who died aged 91, was a pilot with Transport Command during the second world war, based largely in Cairo. As well as carrying supplies and men to north Africa, he flew to India and Burma and other dangerous destinations, often returning with wounded servicemen.
After the war he committed himself to the reconciliation work of the Moral Re-Armament movement. He worked backstage as a carpenter with MRA's Christian theatre productions, such as Jotham Valley, which was staged on Broadway in 1951, and in Hollywood.
