MPN11,
When you were training at Shawbury in the mid 1960's on one of the courses run at that time by George Elliot DFC, a WWII Canadian bomber navigator, and Tim Derrick, my step mother was a Flight Officer stationed there.
(for the uninitiated until 1968 the WRAF had a different rank structure. A Flight Officer was the feminine form of Flight Lieutenant).
One of her important roles was giving George Elliot all the details on young officers on the courses showing too close an interest in his daughter Rosie -- with whom I spoke most recently by telephone earlier this year).
George Elliot was a gentleman. Tim Derrick could be brusque.
