MrB - that wasn't the memorable incident when JC was the navigator, was it?
JC (SF Herk peeps probably know this) had an 'individual' nature which probably wouldn't have identified him as a 'VIP' crewmember.....
One day, they have to take BuffHoon somewhere. He bounds on board, then sticks his face onto the flight deck. JC is in typically 'relaxed' form, slouched sideways across the nav's seat with his feet resting on the jump seat.
Buff glares at him and splutters "Don't make any effort, will you?"
JC looks up in a surprise and announces "Well, since you put it like that, no I won't!"
At which point Buff stomps off the flight deck and the captain has his head in his hands....
"Who the f*** was that wa**er?", asks JC of the rest of the crew, who are all pi$$ing themselves with laughter.
Clearly not up on his MP-recce, was JC. BŁoody amusing chap, though - is he still in the mob?
I always thought BuffHoon was the spitting image of a minor childrens' comedian by the name of Freddy 'Parrot Face' Davis:
