Wotcha Shag! Fancy so many people being nice to you.. even pilot chappies.
K52 - you refer to an "elderly" Flt Lt Captain; If it was Jock C...g then he wasn't elderly, he was bleedin' ANCIENT even then
So many folks at Abingdon used to ask why Ian was called "Shag". A "Jumping Bean" had been part of the jollity in the Mess one evening and had heard Shag regale the assembled company with tales and jokes. After Ian had finished his favourite one about a vicar, a little girl and a dog called Porky,(!!), the J.B. turned to me and enquired: "Why do you call him Hampton?"
I too have enjoyed many happy years of Ian's friendship and even forgive him for getting us kicked out of The Black Horse, this before 12 0 clock midday!!
Hope you get to read this Ian. Now you have no excuse for NOT getting yer ass south again for the 46 Reunion like you did a coupla years ago. Cheers Shag and enjoy yr well earned retirement.
P.S. Did you hear "Parts" Unwin was at this years bash?
