" I wonder how many of them had 1500hours"
Not many I suspect. In the 70's I had the pleasure of having Leonard Cheshire on board a Friendship flt from ADL to MGB. He spent the greater part of the trip in the jump seat chatting. A very humble Christian man.
He said he did about 800 hours before walking away to do other things in his life.
Years ago I read/ heard that an Australian was credited with doing the most hours during the war. He was Joe Palmer an early aviator and apparently spent the war instructing all day and virtually every day including taking a cut lunch. Was reputed to have amassed something like 5000 hrs.
