In a touching tribute posted to social media, WF Aviation wrote: "Yesterday we said a tough goodbye to Harvey Dunmore, a good friend and colleague.
"His talent was limitless and not many young lads could achieve what he had at the young age of 21.
"He was a one-man wonder who could do multiple tasks at once, applied himself with vigour and enthusiasm to anything he started, and never gave up. He was reliable, a great friend to all, and always thinking of others."
