Would this training sortie (presumably with a full crew of 4 on board) have still been flown at some point if Wills had not been there....yes.
Was it any extra effort to use a new field in the vicinity of Odiham...no.
Do some posters need a 'meerkat moment'....definitely! (Where you pull your heads out your ar$e and have a good look around you to see what's really going on).
PS: And how exactly is Jon Lake an 'RAF-trained' pilot. I mean, Air Cadets who got a few hours on Chipmunks in the 80's can claim to be 'RAF-trained'! (Like Jacko
) Can anyone dish the dirt on Jonny-boy?
