Need a bit of help:
This photo was taken at Benson in September 2000 at the conclusion of my ACPNTS course. I don't remember who the AVM in the picture is, and it would be nice to know. I'll delete the photo at the conclusion of this thread.

Thanks,

Scraping a grey cell, could that be Brian Huxley, CB CBE, a former AOC MATO?

Thanks, I've had a look and can't find any pictures of him on google. The same guy who was in an incorrectly fuelled Beagle.

I found another image but was unable to break it out.

The ***** have something like blagsplat.
Brian was a staff pilot at 6 AEF where he organised the cadets navigation training. He normally turned up to fly in scruff order like the rest of us. He was a Flt Lt RAFVR(T) when he put his flying suit on and presumably dressed up smartly for the cadets' wing presentation. A thoroughly good egg.

Since 26er doesn't seem to disagree, I would say so! Congratulations.
