John Woodbridge, known as Woo
When I joined at LATCC, Woo was a Chief Sector Controller.
I was told a story that he flew Wellingtons in the war and was caught in a search light and they dived to escape it.
During the pull out, the nav, was winding back the trim with both pilots pulling as hard as they could, the wings bent upwards.
They then dropped the bomb load at their target and the wings were written off back in the UK.
