Waterbird
I had the pleasure of completing the Waterbird course at Shearwater when we visited Halifax in HMS HERMES in early summer 1974.
Fantastic course and great to see it is still going.
The jump technique taught (plus fast fuel dump) came in useful when I had an engine failure at max gross (++) departing HMS Tiger a few years later.
I hope William had as much fun as I did!

Reason: confusing William with Harry! - Old age creeping up!
