The joys of being a batchelor at Gutersloh!! 76-79 on 18 Sqn.

Highlights of OPLL at 50ft agl avoiding the fast jets who seemed to be everywhere.

Taking a Lightning pilot on a famil and demonstrating a hover - asking him if he wanted a go and taking the autostab out while giving control - oh how we laughed as he explored most of the grass area between the runway and pan!! he then said the immortal words "Its not as easy as it looks is it"

Missed my chance of a return trip as the T bird was abandoned after a Hydraulic failure.

Gutersloh KOS and the teachers' parties

Happy memories
