an ex 60 Sqn pilot
We had one of those at Heaven-in-Devon as a staff QFI on 63 Sqn. But a very nice chap. He'd been one of the last pilots to have flown Javelins with 60 Sqn in Singapore before later becoming an F-4 driver. But he
hated the fact that his old squadron number had been transferred to the RAFG Pembroke squadron.....
Which, of course, we students never mentioned. Not once. Oooh No. Or rather, not often.... We would look him in the face and ask, with mock seriousness, "How did you manage to re-role from Pembrokes to Phantoms?"...
That
Fighter Pilot JP clip was the result of the luvvies' request for something a bit more interesting for the unwashed genpub to see. It was complete fabrication, although there were some people around in those days whose 'ability to impart instruction' was woeful.
