Hearing 'Good News Week' on the radio the other day turned back the years. I remember liking it a lot as a youth. The fact that it was made by RAF pilots added a certain something. I believe they were V-force jockeys. Wiki gives their names as Mick Tinsley, John Stewart, Alan Laud, Ray Honeybull & Leslie Dash. Can anyone explain:
- how they managed to get their boss' permission to moonlight as 'beat' (sic) musicians
- whether they carried on playing at all during or after their service careers?
I presume they were in great demand at DiNs!
I hope they are still rocking!
