Ah you missed a trick a while back chaps.

Last year, JF very kindly offered to come and give a talk on harrier testing to the small flying club that I'm lecture secretary for. Itwas well attended, but we could have squeezed a couple of fighter pilots in the back.

And I have to say, it was the highpoint of the season; JF is a superb speaker, who is incredibly generous with his time, and very patient with an audience whose understanding and experience were clearly a fraction of his own. The simple fact that somebody of his experience and professional status was very ready to come and talk to a couple of dozen PPLs says much about him, the coverage of the talk said even more, the fact that it didn't go over anybody's head completes the picture.
