I think you mean Ted Blackwood standing next to Gerry Sedgewick.

After Gerry sent me on my first solo in January 1979, I had an instructor change: to Ted. Ted had put both his students on review and so he needed a 'new' stude to have a go at! Me! I'll always remember that his pre-flight lesson briefs used to last anything from an hour to two hours - he covered ALL the PoF bits extremely thoroughly! Even the de-briefs lasted at least thirty minutes! If I remember correctly, wasn't Ted the author of the PoF section of the RAF AP3456?

As they used to say "I learnt about flying from that"!!!!
