Such sad news. I well remember a call out late afternoon from STBY for a technical intervention on the Kittywake. Everything slipped right and we had to advise on deck that we either flew back empty or would take the intervention crew to Edinburgh- which we duly did. After putting the Aircraft to bed we arrived and got to the Airport Thistle around 01:00 and were delighted to find the bar still open. Had a few beers with the night post crew (or was it the BA red eye - hard to remember now?) and retired around 03:00. Walked into breakfast in our Bristow tracksuits and flying boots, unshaven with finger brushed hair - to a few curious looks. Then spent the morning waiting to hit the FDP limit while watching TV. Something called the Braer was busy running aground in Shetland! Then flew home. Great 24 hours. Sorry Graham😞
PS. Just realised he was ten years younger than I am now, and I thought he was middle aged! Tempus fugit !
