The JP was affectionally spoken of as "having constant thrust, variable noise". Just last week I was reminiscing, as I drove through the Lake District, of how we flew parallel to the M6 waving at car passengers who were on the same level on the motorway as we were at 250' in the Lune River valley near Tebay. That was 34 years ago under the tutelage of the likes of Bill Brandy and the infamous Dukesy of Cranwell IOT fame.

My saddest memory was the tragic incident which caused my last JP flight to be delayed on 22 Dec 1988, then moved to the New Year. Of all places, my final IP to Target run started at the Lockerbie A74 roundabout just hours after the events of that fateful day, the 21st.
