My GIF was the spitting image of Pavarotti! How he ever got into a 104 cockpit I'll never know but his Pasta GTX after night flying was magnificent!
He was a great bloke, think he's a civvie flyer now in Italy, Mag Regin, er Reggine er Reginni, well you know who !
In the tower we had to write the pilots and navs name on a movements board, there were many R + 11, G + 13 and S+17, it was easier for us air traffikers !!
