The 'Breaker of the only proper flying Me109' was the only real aircrew-friendly 4-star. Excellent chap who, having owned up to his own cock-up with the Gustav, realised that 'blame culture' had no place in the avoidance of repeat incidents. Ba$tard Bill was a much lesser person, but don't we all know that....

Perhaps the best 4-star of recent years, in my humble opinion.

Sorry he failed you; I got a bit further on the F4 but didn't like the lifestyle very much. After being chopped having been 'Operational' on the beast, I was partly glad to get away form the rat-packs, secret squirrels and certain pi$$ed, incompetent navigators who infested the F4 squadrons of the time...

OK - let's put it to the vote. Do we include the 'toom in the 'Did you fly' stickies?
