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! :ok::ok: |
I had just started my shift in Local when it happened, tragic loss and an event I will never forget. RIP Sir.

Fitter,
You have a PM. |
Must have been one of the relatively few "single engine" accidents in the Canberra.
very sad. RiP |
If you didn't know already, the location on Kinloss G&CC where WH972 crashed is just by the 8th Tee, the golf hole is appropriately named "Canberra"

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.
