Roger was in good form at the Southampton Hall of Aviation last Sunday, at the retirement p/u for Messrs Ken Handley and Jake Russell (both A Watch LATCC, latterly Swanwick).
Whether Rog was there to get a beer out of KH (..a rare event..), or to compare notes with Jake (..another"telephone operator"..) remains a matter of conjecture.
Casual conversation with the museum staff confirmed that they have no plans, as yet, to display a lifesize replica of RHT plus phone in hand.
They were a little concerned when he offered to take the Shorts Sandringham off their hands for a fiver. These fears were soon allayed when they realised that the towbar wouldn't fit on the Porsche!

Happy retirement to all three!
