CG, Leaky and Konfused - I too was at Swinderby on 29 Aug 79 (Yes another jock) and Jimmy Rodgers was indeed on the same intake and flight. As I was under 17 at the time Jimmy R was, I think, tasked to keep an eye out for me so I would not get into trouble. It,s not true that he bought me beers in the Naafi or in Lincoln. Still speak to him often. 30 years service this year. Starting to get the hang of things now
I think?
Like leaky, I too went the way of the techie until changing to aircrew in the early 90s.
Leaky and I have cross paths over the years too, both as techies and aircrew.
Happy Days
