I used to fly as an F/E with his son, Ian, who was a captain on B747; so I had the honour of meeting his dad when he visited. I told him I was an ex-Halton Apprentice myself.....so he called me a rookie and I should get some in...I had been in the RAF for 22 years and 16 years in an airline at that meeting!
