Red Pelicans 1969
I was No.4 in the '69 Red Pelicans team,on the JP Mk.4, which was led by John Robinson; the No.2 was Tony Davies and No.3 "Mac" McKenzie-Crooks; John Davy was the "whipper In". All of us but "Mac" met at this year's 100th anniversary of CFS held at RAFC Cranwell; our first reunion since the end of 1969! We intend to meet a bit more frquently in future. Ivor Gibbs, who had been my Shackleton co-pilot for 3 plus years, became the leader of the 1970 team on the Mk.5.
