Overstress,

Totally agree; he was a fine chap and a very good pilot. Flew with him once on the F4 OCU and knew the nav as well from a previous sqn at ISL.

An apocryphal story from that day was that when they returned to the mess for a much-needed sharpener or three after claiming their kill, there was a free barrel on in the bar. When enquiring as to the reason for this largess, said donor of barrel said "Oh it's on me, I've just joined 'The Caterpillar Club'". Crew riposte is not of printable sort!
