AST Instructors

These pictures really bring it back! Great that you were able to source these, Chris.

Jack Robertson - as you say a kindly man who brought a very human touch to his instructing. He was a smoker (weren't they nearly all back then?) and he walked with a pronounced limp - the result of an illness, I seem to remember him telling us. He spoke with a Canadian accent and had flown DC 6s.

Jamie Hunter - to this day, I can hear his voice in my mind's ear! Strong Scottish tones with a slight nasal quality. He struggled to pronounce some of the Aer Lingus names in Irish. Sometimes joked about his hangovers...
