TC,
You've got it completely wrong this time. Pofman is 100% British, was one of my RN instructors (he sent me on my first solo in a Whirlwind 7), along with myself and a few others here, was one of the founder pilots of BCalH when he was flying Bell 222s and Bolkow 105s for the Met Police. He was an ab-initio instructor at the Bristow Training School in Redhill and has impeccable credentials.
