  1. One of the things that always comes across to me in these interviews of former aircrew is the quality of the men. It makes you glad that these were guys were flying the expensive hardware. They are professional, studied, thoughtful and not gung-ho. It makes you grateful that NATO is served by such men.

  2. Wrea Green is indeed pronounced “ray green”. I’m guessing Nugs may have had a few pints of Bods in the Grapes there. My friend lived there, his father was a test pilot on the Tornado at Warton, with a French test pilot’s “brevet” framed in his downstairs loo!

  3. It is very noticeable how much this man praises the qualities of the people he worked with. A real team player, no arrogance, doesn't want all the credit he wants to share it. Sounds as if he worked hard and always worked with the attitude that his proper place was as a member of a team.

  4. Interesting comment on letting his hair grow in the RAF. I've always noticed that RAF personnel, and those of the RN and British army too for that matter, tend to (be allowed to) wear their hair much longer than in the US armed services.
