Another Jack H story
Whilst on 24Sqn circa 65/66 I heard that Jack was route checking a young captain from Luqa to Lyneham and going north towards Elba, Jack asked the captain what he would do if an engine failed. The captain replied, 'Divert to Ponza' to which Jack replied, 'Fxxxing Ponza! Fxxxcking E cat'!!!
Perhaps I should explain, to those not in the know, that the Island of Ponza is a small rocky outcrop which in those days, had only an NDB and no airfield.
Jack H is the Hastings Jack Huxxxxgdon
