Having met this so-called fighter pilot in person, I am prepared to tell interested persons what he was really like? If you do not wish your illusions to be shattered, then please do not PM me.
We must have got him on the same day.
Or perhaps all days were the same?
I concur. I met him when he was guest of honour at the last ever wings presentation at BFTS at Linton-on-Ouse. That would have been 15 Course, in 1977 I think; wings were not presented until after AFTS after that.
Are we allowed to say grumpy old git?
No, I meant him, not me... although that might be where I caught it from...
