Had the great pleasure of shaking hands and accepting my scroll from Sir Patrick at my graduation in 1989. I was just joining the RAF and we had a brief 5 minute chat much to the annoyance of the other students.
He gave me a huge boost towards my keeping on the straight and narrow to finish my Nav course. Thank you, Sir, you were an inspiration to me. I'll raise a beer in your honour tonight, fellow Navigator.
