I must add my best wishes to Bill having been in his presence for about 30 odd years on the Nimrod force before I ran away to BD back in 2003, before heading to NZ in 2005.
Whilst at Kinloss I felt somewhat embarrassed to be an A Cat Nav whilst in his company as he should have thus been > than an A Cat Nimrod Operator as he was someone you listened to carefully, or if you didn't, at your own expense be it - especially if you were somewhat senior.
Wish I could have been at his departure but have no real reason to want to be in the UK especially now but lets hope he makes it down here for the World Cup.
Bill, if your reading this, PM and I am sure we can look after you in Auckland or Wellington.
Your a legend Bill,
Best Regards.
Stu
