It was an absolute pleasure to listen to the words of a hero. Jock is 90 years old and yet he stood and talked to an audience of 200-300...average age 30 ish and everyone of them were spellbound. He told the dit of his war and in particular the attack on the Bismarck where he was forced to follow his CO in line abreast through a freezing layer upto 5000' and then a steep dive back down to below the 600' cloud base.


Jock finished his tale with the words......

" I want to see a Naval Officer in every embarked Fixed wing aircraft, including JSF"


Sadly, I don't think that CDS has the moral courage to listen to men like Jock Moffat.
