HiYa Cresta,

All the best from me, old mate (same course !), we have got a lotta catching up to do. Save a space for me and my zimmer, still two years to go (which makes 40 at the sharp end).

xx to Da Management.

Clocks Off,

Hillman Husky.

That wasnt a certain long-retired "cheerful" brummie guy was it, Pedro?!
Think I might have been present on the other side of the sim on that one :O

Ah Redbrae, that mock tudor monstrosity. Any truth in the tales I`ve heard that it was haunted?

I remember Gailes too. Ah! the type seven; 1.5 metre wavelength, blips like warm fronts.......

Check your PM's. ;)

The Human Factors Unit will suffer without your help. Have a long and happy retirement.

Pedro old chum, your glorious CV fails to mention that your finest work was in a minging smokey shed with a BBC B computer and a colour telly on the arse end of Hurn airport. Quality times!
alll the best on your retirement.

Ah yes, I overlooked that. It may have been "make do and mend" but it got results. I remember a certain RN officer who shall remain nameless.........

Yo Pedro! As the one who gave you your "handle" back in '89 may I wish you a long, happy and healthy retirement.

I too remember your work with the BBC ordinateur and those evenings after CATC at the "other place". As alluded to above, the govt prevented you and I reducing the rabbit numbers (and stocking my freezer) on the EGHH north side.

Good days all of them and I would not have missed any of it.

Oh dear!!

PS wasn't that a really heartwarming photo of himself that Red Frog posted?

Loki I think those tales of ghosts were just to spook the gullible. Redbrae was fairly modern but Orangefield House, which incorporated the tower, dated from the 17 century, and was probably a better candidate,
Unfortunately, those who would remember this have mostly passed away.

There's a control tower that dates from the 17th century?! I may be old but even I don't remember that one.

Bern Oulli try this

It was before even my time, but I remember many stories being told about it on night duties, including one about a pilot , instructed to report to the tower after landing, who, unable to find the entrance, climbed up the outside of the building and knocked on the glass.

Here before Pontius was a Pilot or Mortus a Rigger

Will never forget your line on standard coordination during a demo we were doing to students -

"I'll go round the back with my Virgin".

Have a very long and happy retirement.

Hope you'll be putting those Vietnam jabs you had to good use - at last!

Damn! I was hoping no-one had remembered that! Cheers mate!
