I was very fortunate to have attended on of the later HP courses at Redhill. A great experience; one which I certainly didn’t appreciate at the time, but one which I recall fondly.
I distinctly remember Tony Wilson Pepper (TWP), the Met instructor. Many an afternoon was spent daydreaming in his class as he went on about flying the DC10 into Nairobi, dodging the ITCZ and dealing with high energy approaches. Well some of it must have stuck as I remembered it all when I operated in to Nairobi myself last week (alas in a plank).
John Cole was a great gut too. He was the Nav instructor who helped me scrape through the exams.
The flying was fantastic with a great bunch of instructors. I’d love to do it all again.
