Mike & Malcie

If you mean Bunny,guessing not quite 80 - as Heathrow book states he retired in '93. He was on Meteors at Odiham with 247 Sqn in '52 (according to Air Britain history of 247, which shows the very young Fg Off D R Austin in 2 photos!!).

In fact he was mentioned at LATCC C Watch 'Old Farts' reunion last week by the very spritely John Nicolson - who was on NF Meteors.
Other old stagers included soon to be 86, Pete Hazeldine, a very fit looking 82 yr old Eddie Bragg,sprogs in their 70s Gerry Broad,Colin Rivington,Dave Brown and John Munday.
Last year there was a guy who at 90 is still a hockey umpire! Mike B something.

What worries me is that seeing so many fit retirees the CAA Pension Fund may run out of dosh!!
