"Shag" Hampton's last flight
Today was Sqn Ldr Ian Hampton's last flight after 36 years as a Royal Air Force Navigator (and yes, it was delayed and yes, we did bag drag).
Formerly of the Herc world but on Nimrods for the last eleven years I'd just like to say CHEERS IAN!! Its been a blast working with you and you've taught me a bucketload about operating large aircraft, hope you didn't mind me earwigging. Your humour, enthusiasm, common sense and all round good blokeishness is so rare these days that for my part you will be sadly missed.
all the best big guy.
