661 Sqn AAC

I first flew with Uncle Ken as a new aircrewman in March 1981. There were a few pilots in the squadron who would rather have taken an extra 75 kgs of fuel than carry a crewman. Not Ken. He was a total gentleman and treated us newbies with respect.
I really looked forward to Palace 24's when I was crewed with my fellow Scot. Used to give him some severe thrashings on the old games console whilst waiting for the bat phone to ring.
RIP Ken, it was a pleasure knowing you.
