More info...

Dave,

The guy who serviced the Jensen was 'Brian 2' and he lived in Woodhouse Leeds. 'Brian 1' was Brian Sharp the engineer.

I was at the Morpeth show with you, that was the one where Dick dropped the parachutists out of G-BBFE, why do I remember? Because one of the main chutes didn't open and the guy landed heavily on his reserve.

Were you diabetic as I remember someone injecting insulin into their thigh in the caravan?

I was the third Heli-Leeds apprentice along with Glen (does he still have his Olivia Newton John fetish?) and Paul who used to do the photo finish at the long demolished Elland Road greyhound stadium.

At the end of the Summer of 77 I couldn't take any more of Wally and left for a career in telecoms/computing that took me all over the world. I still get up in helicopters hired out of Sherburn piloted by a mate.....
