His collection of old coins has been donated to the Royal Air Forces Association’s Mile of Pennies appeal by his widow Angela. Mrs Trigg said: ‘My husband was a keen coin collector, and when he retired from the RAF he made doll’s houses and embedded a penny into them. He called them penny doll’s houses. ‘I found three bags of his old shillings when I moved house, so I decided to donate the coins and also made a donation to the RAF. My husband would have been delighted. The RAF was his passion.’ Lt Trigg was a pilot for 16 years on Canberra aircraft, but died suddenly this year from a rare form of lung cancer just before his 74th birthday.
