Many thanks for confirming the XV203 ferry details. The blonde one's ski boat incident had slipped my mind.

Do you have any interesting stories about your time on Test and Ferry Flt at Colerne?
I was on Blue Team and our paths crossed several times when you were RHS to B---- W----p. One memorable incident occurred when the bungee-bit of the centre escape hatch had been mis-rigged and 'popped' during an air test. I seem to remember that the FE, 'Pop' B-----r, didn't enjoy having to climb the onboard ladder to try and reset the thing because he wasn't too keen on heights!
