John,

Seems like yesterday (well, maybe the day before yesterday) when you were doing my line training at Aberdeen. I remember being gobsmacked when you line checked me on the flight out to the rig then, after takeoff on the way home, you got out of the right hand seat and went back into the cabin for about 20 minutes to chat with someone in the back leaving me on my own to mind the shop. Oh, happy days when life seemed much simpler.

Rig names such as Waage 1, Sea Quest, Hercules,Zephyr 1 & 2 Transworld 58 jump out of my log book as do other Captains names such as Dick Metcalfe, John Nicholls, Russ Smith, Mike Norris, Ray Elliott + many others from whom I learnt a lot as well as from you.

Have a great retirement.

Best Regards
Hugh
