Ah dear boy. Known him since he joined a club at Biggin I was a founder member of in 1969. Full of himself always. Has a definite way of getting peoples backs up by his superior demeanour. That's the kind of person he is.
There were a few people there in those days who were well into sport flying, and the Tiger Club was where the real stuff was at.
I am afraid he alienated everyone. He didn't stay.
As for his aviation background it started as above and he literally pushed his way through, and does have good flying qualities. But in my view, and it's in a book I am writing, he will one day be the eleventh person I listed as most likely to end up killing themselves - the other ten already have.
As for Flightline. Well it's time for changes and he and Celia must go. He gives flying a far too flamboyant nature. In real life it ain't like that!
