IB4138,
Although I must have spoken to DW many times over the airwaves, I believe I only met him in person once. On that occasion he had 'charmed' the Airport Director (another top bloke) in to temporarily suspending snow clearance, to allow his Be200 to land, and drop off some senior biscuit people! In the photo below, Dave is just visible next to the guy with his back to the camera.
