Brakedwell - indeed so. He was exceptionally keen on moving to FJ from the 'flying henhouse' and his success in that, as you say, was short-lived. Notable also for his enthusiasm for an unusual in-flight culinary combination, possibly related to the 'veg' title!
Seem to recall an en-route 'happening' with 'Dad' Owen as skipper which was unusual, to say the least!
One of the other notable occurances on that detachment was a Bev 'escaping' from its tow-bar with no brake man aboard and trundling off to find a mate to entangle itself with - successfully!
Great days ... I think!
