Pete Sheppard - met him last September @ RNAS Yeovilton for the DH110's first flight 50th anniversary bash. Finally hung his helmet up I believe. Have witnessed some of his Sea Fury displays - including one where he was ill over the wheel away from the crowd during his preflight, then put on a superb display as ever, repeated the earlier perfomance during his postflight and sank as many pints as usual that evening! Some player!. .Joe L'Estrange was also based at Yeovilton in the 60's on exchange by coincidence - another player of renown!. .How about Fred's Five - early 60's, and Simon's Sircus with the Phoenix Five @ Farnboro' '68 ; Sea Vixens and Buccaneers? <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
