Did Roy Moxam do some fixed wing instruction at Ipswich in 1973? If so, I flew with him without realising his background. I can't think there would be too many of that name..
If it is him, I'd be delighted to re-make his aquaintance.
Those were the good days - I was 17 yrs old and anything aviation related was hugely exciting. One saturday Wg Cdr. Ken Wallis turned up in his gold Rolls Royce towing one of his latest autogyros on a trailer. Myself and a pal spent a good half hour chatting to him and helping him unload it before watching him flying around the airfield overhead.
I do sometimes wonder if it was only coincidence that later steered me towards rotary aircraft...
Maybe one day I'll also be lucky enough to meet Nick Lappos for a drink and pick his brains. From what I've heard, getting information out of him is a lot easier than getting the drink...
