It must be! If you see him again, ask about the time he flew, low level, over the famous royal palace in Jockistania (vertically and with both burners engaged !!). Top bloke by all accounts. Somewhat similar in character to the now, well respected, GR4 pilot and Flt Cdr called "Lager." We also had a budding "character" at Lyneham, just before I left, who might have come from one of the provinces to the west of mainland UK; I'm not allowed to say for sure. Most of the available "pooh", liable to descend from above, seemed attracted to him like a magnet. Nonetheless, another completely excellent and professional young man.
