Swanepoel!
JJ!
Yes, one remembers him although not with any great degree of affection. The rumour was that he was the way he was because he had never been able to pass the ATPL examination subjects and objected to being looked down on by the rest of the DCA gang while they flew right hand seat to keep him legal in the King Airs?
I think that you're right about the twenty tons. Seem to remember that the HS748 fell within an ATPL while the F27 was just within an SCPL. Not that it made any difference because, obviously one had to have the ATPL. But that would corroborate your memory.
