But do you mean 2000 hours rotary? He flew something like 100+ plus sorties on F8 Meteors of the RAAF in Korea, where he was sent not long after graduating from Cranwell. He was a very lucky teddybear with lots of flying tours for an Old Cranwellian.
Don't forget it's 1130 next Friday at Hereford Cathedral and I expect to adjourn to a local hostelry afterwards for lunch - a bit a la Alex Tarwid from 2017. You can gather in some guys as you drive down the A49!!!
