two excellent pilots amongst the best I have seen in swing wing and 2 bigger than life characters, lost contact with Bill Scarrat over the years but I am still in contact with Bill Couper who is now living on Madeira

Sorry to learn that Big Bob's unwell. A founder-member of 664's Sumo Flt, and a larger-than-life character. Flown and worked with Bill Couper and Bill Scarratt too. Last I heard of Bill S was of his swimming prowess after dropping a B206 into a Cumbrian lake......

[Vascoingles]

I had heard of his attempt to break the world swimming records for helicopter pilots

Last time I met Bob Glonek was at Prestwick air show in (I think) 1985. Time before that would have been babysitting his kids in Munster. I hope he's well.

Sorry for thread drift. He was a legend in the Scout though!
