Wind beneath my wings

John
Started reading your book ,very honest. Was at at McAlpines 61/66 as an inspector supervisor and have other memories that you may or not recall that are still in my head.
Early morning, laying down in the grass to kill a partridge and finished up with nothing but a heavily pelleted bunch of feathers.

Doing a hovering balancing act with the company Rapide whilst I marshalled you in ,scared the pants off me.

One query, after you had your Helicopter crash, did your transport have a bump with a local candidate for the elections, Driver a Lady someone??

Have some good memories of Macs,thanks again ,now where did I put my glasses so I can read more.
