Neville Browning was my instructor on Tiger Moths at Stapleford in 1958. We started on aeros as soon as I'd completed my first solo. Before that, however, he would regularly brighten up a long circuit-bashing session by doing an inverted circuit, rolling out at the last minute. Very alarming, as we had Sutton harnesses, so there was no chance of tightening the straps before we rolled, so one ended up hanging out of the cockpit with the fuel from the tank overflow streaming past one's nose.

I believe it was true that he fought in WW1 in Sopwith Pups. If so, then I reckon that just makes me just a second-generation aviator.
