Jack Moss

Am I posting this in the correct forum?

Does anyone out there have any memories of a Jack Moss? He flew S58T's on the North Sea and others! He was apparently 'renowned for flying in a sports jacket'. He was my dad!

Yes, I remember Jack from Unst when we used to have a drink (or maybe 2) after a day's work in the bar of the Baltasound Hotel. If I remember he used to enjoy a whiskey.

Laundry Boy would know more I imagine.....

Sports Jacket? The second scruffiest old Tweed thing that I have seen as i remember it.

Very much the Gentleman Jack was too....loved his wry sense of humor.

Yes remember Jack well from when he flew S58Ts for Management Aviation, which became Bond Helicopters. Don't know what happened to him though.

As SAS says a real gentleman. I enjoyed working with him.

Yes, I also remember Jack from Unst. Lovely man! Had more than a couple of beers with him, and others, in The Baltasound Hotel, back bar?? If I remember correctly he liked to do the early shuttles.

He was my dad. My brother found a post re his 'tweed jacket' which I certainly remember. It's lovely to read your comments - Thank you.

Your dad was a great character. I enjoyed my evenings shooting the breeze with him in the back bar of the Baltasound Hotel. Always a gent, always a wry sense of humour. I remember those evenings and it was more than 30 years ago, I was a young sprog co pilot.
