Just for interest,
The, black curtain fit, on the Herk (C130, Fat Albert) was called the HAZE fit. Despite many years of service on the fleet I have no idea what HAZE stood for. Danny, were it not so serious a problem, your experiences accompanying a fallen comrade home seem straight out of a "pseudo horror comedy movie". I can not even begin to imagine the emotions you went through. I can though salute the fact that you stuck to your duty and did not let the service or the family down. As for New Street, I come from not too far away, and I agree, never a welcoming station, preferred, Tamworth.
