Great to hear that Dougie Mee is still going strong! A true gent in all senses (although the local water baliffs might have thought otherwise on occasion) - and supplier of wives to officers various as his daughters were married off over the years, I gather.

The normal SCT ride (for passengers) was a charge around at low level, followed by a few aeros. Whilst holding after finishing my Gnat course in 1975, Douggie took me on a superb sight-seeing tour of Wales - including seeing the remains of a Dakota prang of many years earlier.

Please say 'Hi' to Douggie; my last trip with him was a Wx check on 4 Nov 1975 in XP540.
