Dick Langworthy died in the Falklands on a later detachment and Bill seemed to make a habit of jumping out of Jaguars.

Bill was involved in a well known story which goes along the lines of two seat Jaguar landing after forgetting to put wheels down. As it slides along on its tanks pilot leaves courtesy of Mr Martin and Mr Baker, leaving engineer officer in the back. Eventually engineer twiggs and leaves as well. On being dined out at the end of his tour the engineer is given a flying logbook which records: 'captain and 1st pilot - 8 seconds'

Old Duffer

Thank you all for your responses. Clears up a niggle in the back of my memory.

Dick Langworthy was an ok guy, I went to Copenhagen with him in a Puma when he was on Standards.

I remember we were awaiting our Taxi back to the airport and we were all standing outside the hotel in Uniform with the empty crates of Grolsh we picked up at Gut and took with us due to the cost of beer in Denmark, he thought it better we hid them until the taxi arrived as it didn't look good, the taxi drivers face was priceless when we started loading empty beer crates to take back to Gut so we could get our deposit back lol.
