So sad to hear about Paddy. I joined “D” watch in 1964 and Paddy was the oldest member then. What a character!! Some of the things that were transmitted by Paddy would never have found their way into MATS Pt 2. For an instance, one day he was had a BOAC 707 lined up on 28R and had just rolled a DC3 and “God” was getting anxious to roll. Paddy’s answer, “Dak just airborne, if you close your eyes you are clear to roll”—answer “eyes closed rolling”.
I would like to make the funeral but distance is against me.
I must be even older than “Heathrow Director”!!!
