Only flew with AVM Goodall once - an AOCs visit to the Squadron at Laarbruch (March 1995) became a day of tasking, with him in the RHS, on exercise with 3 Armd Fd Ambulance at Soltau(?). It was worth it just to see the look on the face of the Major who came over to brief the crew. He flew the Chinook as well as any Sqn pilot (like many ex- or then-current Harrier pilots, he'd really enjoyed the heli famil at Shawbury), then spent time in the cabin on the way home to see things from the crewmen's perspective - top individual. We felt very well looked-after by the hierarchy in Germany in those days - very sorry to hear of the loss of a true gentleman.
