I begin to dread traipsing through PPRuNe pages and finding threads like these; it always seems to be the fellas you wish would stay around that are being written about.
Arrived on 72 a few weeks after Chris' commissioning, but it took me several months to catch up with him in rank. Stumblefingers, you have my thanks for helping to ensure that we junior drivers were as well looked-after as any young crewman. Chris was always good value, and did his fair share of detachments and other drudgery that people in his position could probably have chosen to avoid. Last saw him in Laarbruch around 1997, when he came over to introduce us to the 'new' concept of CRM. Thoroughly engaging proselytiser for the idea, despite having a churlish 'bona-mate' station commander in the audience.
Thanks for letting us know, jpsbiggles.
