And on the same theme, the ATC controller at Santa Monica asked if I would take him for a ride in the Maule which I did, he in turn invited me to a going away party for one of his control tower colleagues at the restaurant on the field, a gathering of about 40 pilots and controllers. I was introduced to a group of people as "the scottish guy who flies the yellow Maule". One of the folks name tag said "Harrison". I thought better of asking how his yellow plane was doing. Seemed like a down to earth type of bloke.
