Enjoy the shooting John. Many fond memories of your 'teaching aids'.
Keep smiling in your retirement, and all the best to you and your family.

Stu Dawson will continue to teach the subject as he has done for many years with the addition of Martin Taggart who has sat in on a course with me and Ruston Avari who has not sat in with me, but is an ex Kingfisher Captain.
Martin Taggart, of GCNS and PPSC fame? Former Nav-man on the shack! More king of General Navigation in my opinion.

Enjoy the retirement!!!!

You were without doubt one of the best instructors at Oxford, and I can honestly say that creating such a fun and enjoyable atmosphere, you helped us learn so much more.

A different story for every lesson.

Take Care

Good luck from probably your oldest DL student.

All the best John, AirLaw with you seemed to pass faster! And whenever we'll fly a jet and we'll have to land, we'll remember not to chop the power like if we were on a prop, your story about your private jet experience is still vivid in our memory!

Hi John,

I had the pleasure of having you for both Airlaw & Met! And wish you all the best with your Guns, Big Manor House and the few skeletons you have laying around.

All the best and fair well!

Thanks for the Met and Airlaw lessons and practical advice including how to cool a beer in the desert with a sock, bucket of water and a small child. Brilliant. Good luck and have fun!

All the Best,

LG

I am sure everyone will "stand-en by me" and wish you all the best.

That was poor wasn't it.
