I worked for Northair at LBA.
Brian took quite a lot of engineers under his arm and taught them about the job of repairing aircraft and was one of the nicest blokes you could ever meet.
Dick used to have people in tears with laughter with his stories about his flying and again a great helicopter pilot. I remember seeing MX lifting off then heading towards the trees to gain a bit of speed for the climb, only just made it!
Manjit used to fly the 269 a lot, and one day he dropped into Leeds with a complete radio failure, so got it fixed and Manjit says Captain Holmes has asked me to test fly it and you are coming a long, er no! but i ended up doing a circuit in it but was not happy.

What was Wally's daughter called, she ran the TV business.?

Great stuff Jeff
