Jimmy Mac I last heard of was living with his father in Scotland.

Now there's a character. Tony 'Bucket' Mills.
I spent many hours alongside him on the south bank, D Watch LATCC in the seventies.
Great guy. Interesting to work with !
The last I saw of him he was driving out the main gate at LATCC on his last day, wearing a balaclava and driving his old Morris Minor back to Wiltshire.

I was speaking to Ron yesterday.
He is alive and well living in Farnham, Surrey.
We will be having a beer soon. If you mail me your ID I will pass on any message. He is still the same. What a waste to ATC.

I know I'm going off too far off topic but (a) I'm too tiddled to start a new thread and (b) those nice folk at Maastricht would get cross that I wasn't posting in a private forum.
Anyway - has anyone got a copy of Not Airway that they could scan in? Or upload to a website?
No connection with any previous posts intended of course

Oh dear, I do believe that any mention of NotAirway contravenes Forum Rules and The Public Health Act.
Last I heard, those responsible had had their ears sewn to their knees, and placed in a septic tank in Arbroath.

Harkins.........?
The last time I saw him (Sept 00) He had a bust nose and was shouting expletives with his pants 'round his ankles in a well known British bar in Luxembourg!
I wouldn't be where I am today without the professional and social guidance of Harkins....!

Harkins Twins
A spectacular circus act as I recall. Previous correspondence on this subject is correct inasmuch as there was originally only one Harkins (mono version). The miraculous conversion came about during a particularly hectic inbound rush on TMA(SW) one day, summer, mid 80s. Stevie became so excited, he accidentally reproduced himself via binary fission, and became Nice Steve/Nasty Steve aka The Harkins Twins (stereo version). We can only hope and pray, in these days of Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound, that the process is complete.
I remember Stevie and Jim McC very well, good drinking buddies and v.dangerous to boot, and bloody good controllers.
Bucket Mills is now a doorstop at The Tate Modern.
