I recall being told that Captain Jason H had around 45,000 hours ... although the unkind would opine that he shouldn't have counted those accrued when he was asleep .... one Barry B recounted a tale when, as Jason's FO on a DC3 motoring over the Strait on one occasion, one motor decided to quit ... Jason evidently woke up ... observed that Barry had done the relevant things satisfactorily ... "carry on, lad" .. and retired once more to Noddy land ...
