Nigel Pelly! He was always good fun and everyone loved him. I never had the privilege of flying with him (as we were both Captains) but we were together at Whitchurch and Aldermaston at the same time during our BOAC training and I often saw him down the route. He was one of nature’s gentlemen and I have never heard a word against him.
I should think there are very few people left alive who still remember him. One of them Ron Ballantine died about 8 years ago. Ron knew him well.
I wish I could remember some of the stories for Nigel was a legend.
Kind Regards
