As well as being a PPRuNer, Andy was my first Vulcan captain when I went through 230 OCU in 1977. The other captain I could have been crewed with was a humourless little $hit of a Sqn Ldr intent upon getting promoted at the first opportunity... I flew with him once and he criticised the brand new Plt Off Nav Radar for talking him down on an internal aids (non-precision) approach "In the red/pinks, rather than the red/whites" of the VASIs! A tw@t of the first order he was - whereas flying with Andy was a good deal more fun!
