We used to go on holiday with Clarksons / Court Line every year in the early 70's and I remember the Clarksons brochure had a page about flying with Court Line and it had a picture of one of the pilots, the same one every year, a chap with a beard called Captain Larkman, hoped every year he would be the pilot on one of our holiday flights but he never was. Funny what small details stick in your mind as a child.
