He asked me to come for interview... and, as agreed, he wrote out a cheque for expenses in front of me, across a desk. He wrote the correct amounts in words but put the decimal in the wrong pace in the numbers!! he then placed cheque in sealed envelope and passed it to me only as he dropped me off at rail station. well done Wally, Bank would not cash it and I gave up after a month of phone calls.
He was very lucky to have such loyalty from a great engineer and many good pilots who worked for him!!
