Just had 2 days at Sywell for the LAA Rally (pity about the weather) and my annual pilgrimage - did my FS there in 1961. At the time there was an ancient crop spraying pilot there (well he was in his twenties and we were 17/18 so he seemed "old") - Barry Tempest. We even spent a couple of non-flying days stripping a couple of scrap Tiger Moths for parts for Barry's aircraft. Saturday I was sitting at a catering concession table and another visitor sat at the table and we fell into conversation - turned out to be Barry's son. Talked about a few things including the time Barry was due to display at an event at Belton House near Grantham where I was manning a TA recruitment stand, but he had got caught up in telegraph wires alongside the River Trent in Nottingham, fortunately without hurting himself. Cheers Barry.
