Now there's a name from the past!

Can't help with his current whereabouts I'm afraid but his name brings forth memories of days that were fun (if you can forget about all the bad bits).

Yes Spitoon (nice handle) lots of fun and a few tears? I was Abu Dhabi etc with IAL then Sicco err sorry, Serco. But Yahh, lot of good times if you forget all the hassles.

Rowdy... check your PMs/ email.

Graeme had a unique way of getting a beach BBQ going - a litre of petrol on the charcoal and chuck a lighted stick at it.... from some distance!!

Last saw Gracey Baby in Oman 4/5 years ago. I believe he has a house in France. But where, I have no idea?....

Oh Dear!

A few years ago he was in ATC Doha (ha). I bought him a new cushion in the suq so he could see out of the tower window

Chris Stock, there's a name I remember. SRG member on my ADC and RAD validations at what was then the UK's most Northerly NATS unit (might even have been CAA then). Comment after my Radar board, I think that Viscount flew the ILS, it was a SRA! I was less than impressed. Enjoyed my five years up there though.
