I had the privilage of being Harold's F/O on many a dark night, and again the victim of unforecast fog at Hedland, using our "optional" fuel, flight plus 20 mins reserve, proceeded to Newman.
In the cruise, near TOD the low contents came on, my unease must have been observed by Harold as a big hand touched my shoulder and he said, "It's OK, they fly on a lot less".
His approach briefing was also a classic, "We will bear in mind 3 legs of a circuit are required, and proceed in a more appropriate manner"
Always a Gentleman, always a Commander, sadly passed away earlier this year at I believe 92, had been a long time supporter of Legacy and was for a term the Australian President of Legacy.
Sui generus
