OK. 13 Course started a thread, quickly followed by 15, so let's add the other bracket and see who's around from 11?

So many Courses, all those Numbers to recall; however, the dates look right so guess I am still around - after a fashion :)

Aha, I was right. Familiar names, I know at least 3 are no longer with us.

That's sad. I knew them all as we shared the same Squadron at Fenton. Thanks for the info.

Mike Schofield was in The Queen's Flight maybe even head of it. I met him when he was in BA on the 747-400. I seem to remember he was cherrypicked to run Brymon Airways in Plymouth after BA aquired it in the 90's.
