These posts bring back memories some not so good. I was on duty at TPMH as Hospital Duty NCO when Al Henderson, the pilot, was brought in and we had to place him in the mortuary. I didn't know him personally but some of my friends were his personal friends. A very sad day, he was a great guy. The Met man was severely burned and despite surviving for two or three days unfortunately died.
In typical RAF humour at the time, everyone was very jealous of SAC Watt getting an award. Rumour has it he protected SACW Gill Battye from the flames by lying next to her. Gill Battye was ultra gorgeous. I hope you are all right Gill, like everyone else at the time at Akrotiri, you were a good sport.
