From my recollection Mr B, he was a bl##dy good pilot. He was a Tornado pilot, but as Stn Cdr, he also flew the Victor. His pre-decessors were never let loose on the thing on their own as Commander, always flying with an instructor in the other seat. Not s with Jock. He was a natural and often flew the thing as a Captain in his own right. I sat next to him on a flight once thinking "This man really knows how to fly".
