A very dear fellow named Jack Trigg regaled this Chinook Pilot with Belvedere Yarns many years ago as we quaffed the odd Pint after work hours in Redhill.
I very much miss his company as he was a joy to be around.
I suppose one day I might have to pay a real penance for all the fish and chip wrappers I stuffed under the passenger seat of his car as he drove us back to the Company Digs.
One flight in the Belvedere would have done me I am thinking.
My first ever helicopter flight (as talking ballast) was in a USAF Piasecki H-21 Shawnee....which resulted in a forced landing (I should have taken the hint!).
