Teeters - Interesting you knew Tim. He and I were young rocks together at Catterick, and later in Singapore where he managed to wangle the job of ADC to the Air Commander (C in C), AM Sir Rochford Hughes, a no-nonsense Kiwi who had sacked a couple of earlier candidates before Tim came along and managed to hold on to the job. Always a smooth operator, I knew he would do well and the last time I saw him he had a pretty good job with Rolls Royce, which he told me involved lots of schmoozing - something he would be very good at!
November 4 - yes that is impressive. I know if I had been presented with that job I would have given up pretty quickly and handed over to somebody with nimbler fingers than mine.
