Old Codgers

Nice thought.

It kind of reminds me of the time I visited Tangmere a few years ago.

In the hall was the Hunter that Neville Duke broke the speed record in.

To one side of the hall was a rather tall, silver haired old codger lifting small schoolboys into a Link trainer and letting them have a go for a few minutes.

The fact that it was Neville Duke himself doing the honours didn't mean a thing to the kids but it certainly made an impression on me!

It's also why joining in Project Propeller is such a worthwhile experience. If you can hand back even a grain of gratitude to those guys it's worth it. Trouble is, my 'crewmate' of the last few years keeps giving me stuff every time we meet up like propaganda leaflets and silk escape maps.
