Sqn Ldr Andrus'
Andy was the wing pilot at Changi for the Herc', a thorough gentlemen.
For pilot cats' he had devised his own SID for Changi but never seemed to let on the details to ATC, when asked our intention he would take the RT and reply, " Zis is ze categorisation detail, unable to comply".
Basically he expected the 'victim' to select a radial from Tengah Tacan that could be intercepted at about 1000' after a straight ahead departure from the active runway and followed to the east of Changi until Andy threw some emergency at the pilot.
On a previous tour at Changi, Andy was the skipper of a Valetta of 110 Sqn flying from Kai Tak to Saigon and was first on the scene of search to locate survivors of a Cathay Pacific aircraft that had been shot down IIRC by a Chinese Mig15.
