Alsoi happy times. Never had a problem with bird strikes. The famous actor James Robertson Justice was leader of a sporting falcon group. They used to patrol the airfield - result - no birds. Met him when he had a jar in the wardroom, wearing a kilt of course.
Other famous moment, the Roman Catholic priest won £300 on the Irish sweepstake - not allowed to bet so put the money behind the bar. Maybe some converts as a result.
