I never flew with him, but at Dalcross in 1952, among a number of RAFVR types recalled because of CFI shortage (Korean War) was a gentleman with such poor eyesight and pebble thick glasses he was reputed to fly with his face as near to the windscreen as he could get. The good thing was that he was mess secretary, and we had the best food I ever had. Mind you the mess went £1500 overspent in three months (1952 prices)
