Slightly O/T - Booker
Talking of Booker and Merlins, I was an AFISO in the tower there back in the late 70's (before real ATC arrived). There was an old(ish) guy there called Burt (Bert?) who used to work on the pumps and do odd jobs around the apron. Scared the sh*t out of me one day when he jumped in a spitfire, taxied out and flew a few circuits.
Anyone know what happened to him?
