Neville was a member of the Yacht Club of which I was Secretary, and was one of the nicest guys I ever knew. We were talking after the funeral of another test pilot of his era and I mentioned that whilst my brother had pop stars' photos on his bedroom wall, I had photos of famous pilots, especially test pilots. ND grinned and said to me " I hope you are not another one who is going to say that my exploits persuaded you to join the RAF". A year or so later it was, sadly, Neville's funeral at Tangmere. I got home in time for the local TV news programme, South Today. The news report ended with film of the Hunter doing a vertical roll, and me watching it go skyward - very memorable.
