Now a civvy after 30 years military flying. 47 been the best time I had in that time. Never made 'Hilton' status, admired them, but had the very real pleasure of flying with the coolest G.E - Richie. He stitched me downroute every time, managed to get this dozy Yorkshire Captain to keep the Kebab kitty rolling when I should have re-stitched the Aussie Air Eng! Respect Richie, I'll be there at the 47 gathering. Bloody good crew, bloody huge loss....
