The Silver Fox
I met him at Valley c 1981 when he was a creamy and ended up lumbered with the same job. Enjoyed his company albeit he was and probably remains larger than life. Back then a capable water ski buff and keen squash player who according to his son an AAC pilot even now rarely loses when they play.
Doubt that this is the end of his flying career as he will find something or somewhere to go, just not 10 AEF though, not sure the oldies could cope with him. The sim at Valley perhaps now that Dougie Mee has retired, but not gone, still alive and kicking at the age of 88.
Back then TH would get into the odd scrape including illicit trips to Northern Ireland to see some pretty dental nurse called April. Wonder what happened to her? Word has it still happily married.
TH part of a rare breed of pilots in every generation that survives and thrives in the hot seat while many others fall gracefully by the way side.
Resilient sod!
