Cliff (RIP)
Bill,
Thank you for your wonderful Post about your Father's last flight - it was exactly what I would have expected of him, knowing he would "press on regardless" to the end. Cross-wind or no cross-wind, I bet they had to wrestle the yoke/stick away from him!
He it was who encouraged me to "come aboard" this thread only little more than two months ago, and did his best to guide me through some of the problems I had with my early Posts (that I was not an apt pupil was not his fault). I hope he may be having a good natter with Reg (and with many other old Squadron faces) now.
With deepest sympathy to you and to your family,
Sincerely,
Danny.
