<<The ATC management was superb - the SATCO, Jim Sawyer (who looked and sounded more like an East End boxer) interfered as little as possible with the operation and was regarded almost as a father figure; his deputy, Larry Matthews was a real one of the lads. Both of them chipped in at the coal face when necessary and were excellent members of the team. >>
Wow - brings back memories. Larry was on the same ATC primary course with me in 1966 and I met him in Cape Town a couple of years ago. Jim is well, living with Jean on the south coast of the UK in retirement. He was my Watch Sup at HLLT back in 1970 and when we saw him not long ago he was just the same as we remembered him. Great people....
