That book is great. Alex was a nice guy - I flew with him in the Mk3 at Kenley and later on at West Malling in the Vanguard (ASK21). I seem to remember he worked for the Sevenoaks Chronicle in some capacity................ I may be wrong on that though.
Alex's son is on here sometimes - Clive Watson ( a celebrated ATC Gliding Instructor in his own right. :-)
