Now there is a guy who really had his service flying 'organised', not to mention Bank clerk to SA Hunter ops in 3 days !!!. He used to send letters to Michael at the Tiger Cub which were suitably relating his latest unofficial type check. You have to read this type of book to see how it was when we still had an air force. Shooting party trips using the trusty Meteor, test flight on another Meteor to find an aileron was fitted upside down !!!, and his description on his first Hunter solo is like being in the cockpit with him, brilliant. Sycamore send our regards (and look after yourself as well.). We await your publication 'Rotary Death Machines'
