Young school leaver at Heli Leeds

I was there between 1980/81 to 1983, as a young school leaver I learned very quickly how to make coffee. The aircraft were always painted with cellulose by Glenn. It was cheaper and didn't weigh as much as polly. the hydraulic fluid and oil normally took the paint back off, but if that didn't the T'cut usually did.
I remember a Pilot called Peter Warburton always went to the pub on the A64 smoking a huge cigar.
