Chris, George, both joined the great celestial holding pattern a good while ago. Characters of a kind now in short supply. Both cut teeth in the RAF in Europe and North Africa. Both perpetual boys at heart. Many Chris anecdotes in 'Laughter in the Sky', put out by Jim Thorne. George ones not so accessible.
Do recall him sneaking up behind a 150 over Katoomba and imitating machine gun on the RT and then barrel rolling his 310 in front of the 150.
An ex QF, George Rickey, did a brief stint with Masoes. Also a character.
Like to know where he is. Similarly Ray Smythe, ex TAA, flew VH-MIN on the BMR survey contract. Native of Kempsey. (Knew how to put it way, prior to joining AA).
