Many thanks, Nutloose, I'll see what that offers.
Ex82watcher - Had to churn the memory cells a bit for that one! It was, unsurprisingly, a posed shot for the Pompey Evening News in '64. They did a centre page spread on the Thorney Flight and we did a 'Scramble' and some wet winching for them. Obviously, we couldn't use the main standby aircraft and crew, so we did it on second standby. 'Sandy' Sanders in the middle. was Flt Cdr and stayed in flying suit for second standby jobs - Office work, air tests etc. The late, much lamented, Jack Canham (the best WinchOp I ever worked with!) was just waiting for the photography to finish so that he could go home for the rest of his 'seconds'. He would certainly have been in a flying suit for the. winching bit. It was summer, so immersion suits were optional for Pilot and Nav. I was still single so no hurry to go anywhere!
