Ascend Charlie, would PD's nickname have been 'Device'?
I had a backseat passenger flight in a 77 Sqn Mirage in 1980. (My MACHBUSTER CERTIFICATE still proudly on my office wall.) So I'm a little bit sceptical that one would dare attempt to do this....
If we're talking about PD being 'Device' then he sure was tall.
But my quip was that it was possibly a tall story!
