Right,
I've watched this thread with interest - the sort of interest all aircrew have, automatically, as a result of waiting for someone to crash and burn in spectacular manner, but I am damned if I can work out the crossword clue!
I went back through the OCU in 89/90 (Kuwait etc made that a VERY long OCU) and was a lead on 206 in the early 90's, I knew the odd flying club guy, and would hazard (as a complete sidetrack) that Shadwell the Old might be an ex AEO Captain, (I recall a memorable briefing, where his Nav described Campbeltown et environs as 'Shadwell's D*ck').... but I still can't figure out who Walt is....somebody PM me, just to satisfy my curiosity...even if I couldn't give a monkey's what he claims he was provided he's not flying my 747 home next month!
