I was in the Falklands post conflict in '85 running heliops with a couple of RAF chaps. I was allowed out of the office to maintain currency on the Gazelle. As a PSI pilot I was tasked to pick up Rex Hunt and wife and fly them to a remote RV with a Navy Lynx somewhere on East Island. The Navy Lynx flew in from HMS Brazen and yes, you guessed it, it was Bonny Prince Andy at the controls. We both shut down and I escorted Sir Rex + Frau to the Lynx where Mr Arrogant Bast*rd remained strapped in waiting for me to load HIS pax and their baggage into the Lynx.
Surprise surprise, pax and baggage were left at the door to the Lynx whilst this Pongo Pilot walked back to the Gazelle and flew back to Murray Heights.
I never did hear any more about it until I had to land on Brazen to remove a naughty boy from the ship. There he was, Mr Arrogant Bast*rd watching me struggle a little putting the plastic pursuit ship down on the deck with a smirk on his face.
I never did hear anything from the Navy about calling a member of the Royal family an arrogant basta*d whilst on the way to the ward room for a cuppa....but if looks could kill! ! ! He got his own back by zapping the sh*t out of Gaz though.
Anyway, what he did during the conflict was no more or no less than any other person flying, dug in, tabbing or whatever. He will however always stick in my mind as being an arrogant basta*d.
