Tommy....... That deaf dumb and blind kid!!!

And before you all start.......its in a song!!:ok:

I'm so glad I handed over as Duty Auth on the ops desk at the OCU before the phones started ringing that day.

So you must of auth'd the flight then. :E

Amen to that. I read about this in a couple of old news clippings and became
intrigued by it. Thanks for all the replies and information. Great stuff.
(I'm sure the late Mr Bader would have approved).

It was self authorised in the formation on the OCU.

He wouldn't have had a leg to stand on...

(sorry but someone else would have writ that if I hadn't).

While Nav training at Finningley, i regularly had the pleasure of flying with Tommy. Actually very enjoyable but he always wanted to visit some stable belonging to friend, which for a baby Nav trying to keep on time and on route was a bit disconcerting. He took me there so often, i started to plan it into every flight when i knew he was my pilot.

Can somebody please post a link to the video or scan a still image. I was on support Sqn that day and haven't seen it since then over 25 years ago.
