Smudge,
I would not wish tales of Val Singleton to get in the way. I admire what these guys trained for and undertook. It is a good job Mikado was called off or I may not ever have had the pleasure to meet them.
I think the conversation may have gone along the lines of famous people they have had on board, Royalty, politicians, and celebrities. idle chatter. I think Val and John Noakes did a jump with the Falcons.
