nimbev,
thanks for the info. We seem to have 'avoided' each other. I did the Herc course Jan 68 when the Hastings folded (36/24). Then to 47 at Fairford and then to 48 till the end of FEAF.
Finally parted company with the 'K' In 1997 after the HEART job. No ground tours although in terms of hours flown one or two seemed like it .
