Please forgive if this is of no interest to you. In my 18 years as a pilot I was always in Transport Command (or whatever new name they called that week). However, in my spare time, I was heavily into the RAFGSA gliding movement.

I "borrowed a workshop" at Swanton Morley at the end of 1971 to rebuild a glider and, one night, a F/O walked in in uniform. It transpired that he was also heavily involved with the RAFGSA movement and was therefore very welcome.

He was basically a Vulcan co-pilot who had committed some sort of outrage and he had been put in charge of a mobile V-bomber marking team. He had several specialised vehicles parked on the north side of Swanton Morley.

I would love to put him on to this thread but he sadly b*ggered off to the hangar in the sky last year.
