Longer Ron,

Now you mention it, ISTR an aircraft that had a glider towing hook in my time too. Could the T come from Tug ? And was it doing a bit of launching RAFGSA stuff from Bicester or some such. No disrespect meant, but from your photograph it's fairly obvious where the "Longer" Ron tag comes from, I struggled to reach the bottom blade to pull the prop through six blades on priming for start. Spinner was never an option. Thanks for that prod on the tug aircraft, it's amazing what one forgets in 36 years.

Best
