A few people I recongise, Neddy Claypham, John Sewell, Mike Pilkington (he ended up as Sir Michael C-in-C Training Command). The Station Commander was, I think Gp Capt Bootsie Griffith. If it was him, it was he of foul language..
Yes we are all in our 80s and 90s. Those memories will not fade.
Still remember you going through the OCU when you got your captaincy, I was with DMD.Glad to hear you are fit and well, we are thinning out a bit now.
