So many memories...
Flying the Harvard on a warm sunny day with the canopy wound back.
First dual trip in Meteor 7. The smell of AVTUR across the dispersal.
Winter survival course of two weeks in the Tyrol.
Guest of the Ghurkas in Borneo when weather forced overnight stay.
Night medivac from a strip in Malaya with police landrover illuminating threshold.
Electric storm over the Indian Ocean with St. Elmo's fire flickering purple flames around each window of the Belfast flightdeck.
Stroking the noses of porpoises from the bow of the rescue launch on the lagoon at Gan.
Dinner with the Thai airforce at Prachuap Kiri Khan. Table at Officer's Club at waters edge and eating silver sword fish with wild pigeon eggs on lemon grass with a necklace of islands providing the backdrop.
Happy hour with US pilots at Hickam whilst on several months detachment.
Seeing the firmament of the night sky, almost for the first time, from a bedroll in the Empty Quarter of Arabia.
