Ron made perhaps the most significant contribution to my education as a pilot. In late 1983 we had a job somewhere out by Rockall where a man had fallen off a boat. Presented with this 220 mile out job, I as copilot went into SKTU mode, drawing lines, folding maps etc. Ron came back into the ops room at Lossie, grabbed me (and my pile of maps) and said "stop f**king around there's a man dying out there".
That incident was the one that taught me to prioritise.
