and the cockpit had Flight Directors. Collins FD-102 Flight Directors, but hey they were Flight Directors. Little did I know then just how much grief those bloody FD-102 Flight Directors would cause me later

Hello,
I am so sorry to read that.
His aircraft lives on.
I am not allowed to post the url, this is my first post,
but you should be taken straight to the film if you copy and paste

Great video. I'm sure something of Alec's (con pilot) spirit lives on in that aeroplane.
I had the pleasure of meeting him and his charming wife over drinks. I tried to arrange a flight for him to see the local sights but it was not to be.
Something I still regret.
