the ditched Norseman - Ken was carrying a bunch of parachutists. There was a carnival on the beach. The old round engine sprung a massive oil leak. (Threw a pot ?) In a split second there was no forward vis at all. Ken turned round to yell - we are going to have to ditch . . . .but the merry throng had already departed. A passing Korean ?? trawler fished Ken out of the drink.

One of Ken's passions was breeding race horses. How successfully, no idea.

(JL _ if you come up to Sinney soon we can see if Ken would be happy to have a recorded chat. For posterity. rgds JDW)
