P6D: Hope to be able to drop in some more to compliment Amos' wonderful shots!
Geoffers: Most interesting about BCal's first 61's. Did you happen to meet Del while in McMinville? Last time I saw him was in the lobby of the Anaheim Hilton - he was having a 'tipple' with Col. Bob (another Smith) and Mr Suggs (another Bob) lol!
More from the Papal visit:
This states that F. Coulshaw (who was he please) and Chris Hunt were flying G-BFPF (which Geoff collected in 1981). I wonder where they landed in Canterbury? Seem to recall a long strip of grass alongside an ancient section of stone wall that could have been used or perhaps they made use of a school ground etc. (My mother used to enjoy drinking 'Lapsang Souchong' tea from the County Hotel in Canterbury where we would visit together on my exeat weekends .. accompanied by toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches!!!).
Chris Hunt was the person who piloted me on my first ever helicopter flight and which occassion is recalled earlier in the thread. A wonderful chap.
