......Ned Sparkes was a bloody outstanding chap. I last met him at St Mawgan where he was the SWO. I was w/e duty officer and called to ask for the DO's bag of knowledge to be left out for me as I'd just landed. I thought I recognised the voice so I rang back about a minute after and asked if he had been the 3 Squadron drill sgt "Yes, I was" he replied "and I recognised yoiur voice too Mr Rossian". It took me about 2 weeks to understand what he was saying(being a young lad from the Highlands) when giving drill commands.
