John Mike Aston

Yep, John was my next door neighbour, and he starred in a BBC doucmentary c1973, which showed him take a BEA Trident One from Heathrow to Germany, in the cockpit. It also filmed him at home and in the crew room. It was probably a year after the Papa India crash, as he was a Training Manager and the workload had increased. A lovely guy who gave me my interest in aircraft, and was always willing to tell me anything I wanted to know. He did go n to Tristars and died in 2001 unfortuately suddenly. A very sad loss to his children, and I miss him a lot. I knew him as John.
