Rothman's

I knew David Perrin slightly.

When I was a student, I had a holiday job working for Personal Plane Services and one of my abiding memories is of erecting and rigging 'from the crate' a Stampe that was being imported for the Rothman's Team. As nice a 3D jigsaw as you could ever want, getting the sweep, stagger, dihedral and incidence right, with all the flying and landing wires within acceptable tension and facing into wind. Rigging the silerons was just as bad, as i remember!
