HTB
I recall Darkie Holroyd from Church Fenton, second half of 1969, when I passed through there on a HSP course (forget the number);
.. which is where I met him, when (stangely for a crab[fat]) I was on 141 HSP. Unbelievably
the RAF were tinkering with flying training then and thought something like the HSP (75 hrs Chipmunk) followed by straight onto the JP 4
might be a good idea ...... but then they also thought checking fuel downwind in a Chippy at night with a right-angled torch to see the gauges in the wings was a good idea

Turning to Ric Head, he once told me that an ancestor (cavalier??) Sir Richard Head had been wrongfully executed, and his last words - for some reason - were to put a curse on the family if there weren't a "Richard" in his memory in every succeeding generation ......
Probably BS, but I always was gullible
