The Power of Pprune.

Its amazing that since posting my recollection of flying the Sunderland,I have had several memorable experiences.

I have been contacted by an old friend of 54 years ago and now in contact with several old squadron mates.

I have been invited to join the Goldfish Club,as apparently I am eligible for the Manila incident.

The icing on the cake.Yesterday I was invited by Trevor (Corsairoz) to the Solent Sky Museum for a conducted tour of the Sandringham (ex JM715).It was a memorable visit for me to sit on the flight deck and recall some of the old days. Thank you Trevor and the staff at Solent Sky who made us so welcome.I left with a big lump in my throat.
