Here is an undated photo of KE209 and, with a bit of imagination, Capt Gick's name can be seen under the cockpit together with a cartoon bearing the legend '??? Kat' on the cowling: Asisbiz Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat FLEET-AIR-ARM Grumman,Hellcat,MkII,F6F-5,Royal,Navy,FAA,KE209,Lossiemouth,Station,Flight,Commanding ,Officer,John,Caspar,01

Here is KE209 on display at Yeovilton in 2011, with no pilot's name or cartoon: KE209 Royal Navy Grumman Hellcat II - Planespotters.net Just Aviation

I was definitely there at Easter, David, which tends to be confirmed by the lack of leaves on the trees (and the weather as I recall it!). We were told that, had there been more aircrew about, we would normally have had a Sea Prince flight too. Mind you, they could have told us anything and we would have believed it........
