Good morning Gents ...

I hope you don't mind me asking a quick question

I was reading a short Biography about Air Marshal Sir Cliff Spink yesterday which mentioned that, aside from flying the F4M in the South Atlantic, he also flew the Hercules. It would seem he did this when he was Station Commander of Mount Pleasant Airfield. Would that have been a local RH seat checkout or did he do the OCU ?

I appreciate Sir Cliff is a highly regarded VSO/leader/pilot ... it was just a surprise to see Albert on his type list given his fighter pedigree.

Best ...

Coff.
