XV 179
Ah yes - 179. Of all aircraft, that should be the one to cause the demise of those
guys. It used to be the bane of my life in the old days when we did the Changi slip and it WAS in the days before we carried a ground engineer.
Gary was a student I flew with during one of my tours as an instructor.
Always brings it home to you when you know one of the people concerned.
We lost a few people in the earlier days but you never get used to it.
