Thanks BEagle for the memory jog
Owen was one of our ULAS QFIs in 1973 - and did indeed have a fine sense of humour!

There were two other ULAS QFI names I couldn't remember at the time of the above post ... Owen O'Mahony was one ... the other was a Brian ? who appeared to suffer spine/back problems and, at the time, was hopeful CME would prescribe some kind of back support for him.
Back to Owen ... I enjoyed an hour of spirited aero's over the Isle of Sheppey along with some PFL's with him during the ULAS Summer Camp of 74. As we walked out to the pan he turned and said "I'm suffering from a peptic ulcer young man ... if it bursts are you capable of getting us back on the ground ?" I smiled and said "I'll do my best and try not to disappoint Sir" ... he smiled and whilst the sortie was authorised as SCT for him ... he gave me a good instructional session
Best ...
