5 ex Chief Pilots. Not bad - that's about 10% of the Chief Pilots we had over 40 years..........

If you could believe the war stories, I counted around 230 sackings by Junior in 156 ex Talair staff present!

I omitted mentioning Mudguard's blue striped jacket.

No wonder some were chatting on the big porcelain telephone. Dunno if he got it from St Vinnies or nicked it from some poor Pommy school kid, but he certainly forgot to iron it!

And it was great to see some of the "old timers" from the early days of TAL, including Gerd Frank and Bill Sherwood Snr, both of whom flew DH84 Dragons and Cessna 170's for Territory Airlines in the 50's and early 60's.

Probably six or more Chief Pilots, Chuck. I have a feeling Gerd, Bill or both may have been past Chief Pilots.
