RIP Stumpy, a great shipmate and friend. As far as I recall he did bang out of a Scimitar in, I think, 1966. This was in Ark and was 803's last time at sea. The Air Group disembarked in June just in time to watch England beat Germany in the World Cup. In my seven months on board I think 803 lost eight aircraft but I could be wrong. Two for Bush, one for Stumpy and I can't remember the others. However, no pilots were lost. Great days. Great flying. GW
