I can't believe that it has been 4 years. I'd just pranged my car and got to the pub late for lunch. I walked in to see Mrs SMT writing down the names as she got the call from her duty people. Still such a shock to the system.

Leigh, our course print has pride of place on my study wall. You were always a gentleman, and always better at golf than me!

A week ago, I was hunting through some old photos from my teenage "spotter" days and came across a photo of XV230 overshooting at Turnhouse. It brought tears.

Rest well,

SMT
