I joined 72 in 1968 as a young crewman. One of my first detachments was to Weedon, near Blackpool. I remember Alek Tarwid saying 'Ah, Veeton. Dat is vere I learned to spik Inglish!' When I asked why 72 Sqn Wessex had red dayglo Snoopy zaps on the nose I was told it was to warn other pilots that aircraft had been flown by Alek Tarwid, and therefore over-torqued! ALL 72 Sqn Wessex soon sported the Snoopy zap.
