I knew Neville from the King William pub, when I was around 17 and living in Chigwell,he always had a greyhound and took it flying,his other trick was to put a pint of beer in the passenger seat and loop without spilling a drop.
He mostly drank with an airline pilot who I think flew 707's for BOAC.
Quite a character and a gentleman,don't see the combination much today.
