Many people probably don't realise that Hughie Green had served as a pilot with the RCAF in WW2, principally ferrying aircraft across the Atlantic. Not as simple as people might imagine, in those days.
In 1970, he set up 'Opportunity Flights' to maximise Air Cadet air experience flight opportunities, by persuading sponsors to offer cadets free trips in corporate business aircraft and with major airlines. He also presented G-AWSW to 5 AEF.
After being hounded by the red top media for his somewhat colourful lifestyle, the poor old sod lived out his twilight years in relative obscurity before finally succumbing to lung cancer in 1997.
G-AWSW deserves to be well looked after, having given so much pleasure to so many future RAF members, thanks to the generosity of Hughie Green.
"And I mean that most sincerely!"
