Pindi, don't leave us in suspense, reveal all!!

AFAIR, a strong rumour at Finningley in '76 that the last flight of a 6FTS Varsity was rolled by a Flt Lt Harrington? Errington? I cannot remember for certain, but he was a bloody good bloke. There was also a Sqn Ldr UTP who did all the post major airtests (JP's/Doms and Varsity's,) (not Vin Nadin), who was rumoured to have done the dirty deed.


Oh, and what was WJ916's secret? The only airframe I've seen to land, taxy directly into a hangar, then shut down and for that hangar to be point-guarded whilst in there.
