more names and memories
Believe Johnnie Taylor now working part time and living in Cornwall.
The buy 2 get 5 free Viscount story is correct. As well as the VC8 Simulator and the 7 aircraft was a host of spares including engines, for 105K I think.
Some of the aircraft needed resparring before being put back into commercial use.
Think it was Tony Smallwood not Ian (?).
Jim Shaw, Jim Snee and Hard Ronnie are names that come to mind.
"Keep attacking son!"
The very best of flying and of people it was too.
