I woke.
I ate.
We met.
We planned,
We briefed
We walked
We started
We Taxied
We Flew
We trained
We talked
We recovered
I left
I woke
I hurt
I saw
I hurt
I cried

Nice words Jacko, much appreciated.
I've lost a fair few colleagues over the years, but I still count Cam as the one genuine friend who hasn't made it. Same BFT and AFT courses, but he never turned up at Chivenor to start TWU, having succumbed to a major bout of glandular fever. (Cam used to be fit as a fiddle, thinking nothing of playing a couple of games of squash followed by 36 holes of golf in a day - at the worst of his fever he could barely manage to play the first hole). I would hazard a guess that fatigue was a big factor in the circumstances of the crash (although never really acknowledged in the Accident Report).
RIP mate, still miss you, I am certain that you have established a sizeable property portfolio upstairs by now, as well as sorting out that golf handicap!

As I am still serving, I am restricted in utilising social media to its full capability but, as it is 30 years to the hour since Flt Lt Locke perished, please excuse the resurrection of an old thread.
