Spinwing,
Thanks: we joined on the same course (34) at BRNC Dartmouth, a few weeks ago in October 1967. Along with such other notables as Reg Jewel (RIP), Tony Ellerbeck, Derek Hazeldine, etc etc.
How time flies (excuse the pun), but I never cease to be amazed at how many of my contemporaries are still around in our industry. George has obviously left an indelible image on those he has trained, I wish him well in his retirement
