When I was in the ATC, I was 'adopted' by a really nice ex RAF officer by the name of Bill Goody. He was a great character, who had a real love for flying and a passion for helping out kids. He was also great at spinning yarns. In the war he was a Mosquito pilot and his call-sign was "Cricket23" (23 squadron).
He's long-gone now, but it still brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eye when I think about him.
Regards,
C23
