I seem to remember that his name was Guy Pearce. He used to fly the Buccs as well but used to go a bit lower!! I would have thought the nav got a few sixpence/halfacrowns when they would fly a tomb, jump out and take a Bucc up. We used to stand between the two hangars and get blown over by the R/H as he blasted through them.
Yes, I knew Guy. I once sat across the table from him at a DIN. His wife was called Pandy and they had no telly but 5 kids! I really looked forward to his Dining Out speech when he left, but was sadly dissapointed. Instead of a few good old war stories, he just moaned on and on about how the Royal Air Force had disrupted his family life and sent him to awful places! I should co-co. I would have thought that going between 2 hangars at a great rate of knots and inspecting the underside of the eaves at the same time was pretty exhilarating and worth being away from his family for a bit! I'd have given BOTH left and right arms to fly an F4 and a Bucc like that.
