Bill, ....it was both a pleasure to have known you as a Truly Professional Flight Engineer.....and a friend.........
I wish you well in your (latest retirement....?)
...........My, how we laughed when your lovely wife ( well, I thought so anyway....) trashed your new rear bumper on your Rover....the day it was fitted.....after she had trashed the previous one...by backing into the same post at the same shop......
We last met at Fairford many,many years ago.......
I was then teaching on the TriStar.....My (then ..alas no more ) wife was also particularly impressed with your eyebrows........
Enjoy your retirement my friend..........
