You are indubitably correct, Aerohack. That's what comes of trying to scribe from memory, instead of consulting the records. Perhaps I was trying to wind you up however!

Talking of Donald Campbell, I took a trip to Biggin Hill in 1960, first of June in fact, and asked around for someone to take me up. A chap with a couple of Tri-Travellers said ok, in a min, and who should walk into the room (shed?), but DC himself. We went up in 'PYT, and stooged around Chartwell and Redhill. I was happy to see 'PYT again at one of the fairly recent PFA Rallies.

Since you know all things worth knowing, any idea of what happened to Proctor G-AGTC? I flew in it a couple of times, once to Toussus and again to Rotterdam. The owner was one Simon Biddulph, who enjoyed being seen in a woolly hat, which I think he got from the fishermen of.....island (maybe Ibiza). Believe 'GTC was a Farnborough demonstrator once.

Then I want to ask about the Broburn Wanderlust........

Must go (bowling night).

cheers
