IW deserves at least a capital "P" for his version of patronising

He wasn't alone among the chammy glove brigade but he was certainly their poster boy.

I am reliably informed that one of the "P" squadron failed his first attempt at command and this almost caused a complete meltdown. Having said that he did bounce back and was actually fun to fly with.

The best set of fire fighting gloves I have seen were the proud possession of a little Australian f/e (now living in Macau) who used to use them selectively whenever flying with any of the "P" squadron pilots. He also had the Casey Jones hat to match.
