Old school type bollockings!

Yes, a well-deserved one at RAF Leeming for "quitting my post" in 1964, towards the scheduled end of a very boring night flying session in the most gin-clear conditions of high summer. My assessment, based on not a lot of experience, was that all would be well.

The weather was fine, the aircraft landed safely, no diversions ........... the standing interview without coffee was with my boss. The duty observer had, quite rightly, reported me.

Never, ever, again.

Experience.
