Wow! It's been decades since I heard that name!
I was also on 30 Sqn, in the early '90's', but Dick Clode was a name which often cropped up when it was time to 'swing the lantern' in the co-pilot's room surrounded by empty bottles and tinnies.
IIRC, they often involved stories about taxying in thick fog at EGDL with various outcomes. Perhaps if he was not so fast in the Met brief there would have been fewer stories for others to tell?
