I turned up at Hooks out of the blue in around 1981 with a vague idea of wanting to fly helicopters . Met Robin and ended up staying there for around a year ( except for a hospital stay in UK after an accident at Houston Intnl airport in a 300 ) I was there with Callum and Gus ( the 2 Jocks !! ) and also 2 Norwegians and a few others . Remember the day he got the 206 from Dell and all of us students went for a play in it !! He was good fun and a very kind man ...always white shirt with gold bars ....hanging out of his trousers , covered in fag ash and usually a coffee stain where he had put it between his legs flying !!!! One time his pax spilt coffee and jammed in full pedal and the 206 nearly chopped its tail off . No time now but we should get some stories together .
ps if any of you who remember me are out there get in touch ....( having said that if you knew me then you might not !!! )
