I forgot - Merlin - the landlady at the Shoulder was no where to be seen on our reunion visit. Quite an amazing lady as a landlady. So many late lock ins even during the week. I recall there were 32 malts on the top shelf and in my time I think only one student managed to get all the way along the shelf. I think he was a Trainee Flight Engineer. I recall I got about half way but I was mixing them with a couple local beers as well.
A couple of times the instructors at Topcliffe just drew the blinds down and left our group to try and recover. And - we were back at the Shoulder at lunchtime again. Merlin really had a magic spell over our small group.
