Jock Fox
Jack, Maaaaate!!!!
The legendary Jock Fox. Yup. He was Sqn Ldr as was then Flt Lt Cobb in time who gave me my wings. IIRC the PJI on balloons never wore a reserve to avoid catching on anything. By then the Beverley was gone so the hole in the floor was boarded up. We DID do night balloons, very very rarely, a couple of U2 batteries clipped by the door. There was fear of fire because the balloons were hydrogen filled.
Oh the lovely whine of the Fordson V-8 engine at at the call "Up 800 feet, four men jumping!"
On my first jump at WotG I looked down to see a seagull looking up at me. Magic.
Jock Fox. Holy Terror and partial to a tincture.
