Damn, I wasn’t sure of the last part of the name, I always knew him as Ken or Fitz. I went to Alconbury in ’91 with him, I think Shetland was in the right seat & Avro’s Finest sat behind em. I was in cattle class with the missus & Ernie.
Still got the scar on the noggin from the “pull thru” the next morning. Someone though we were at 11 blades when in fact we were at 12 & as I turned around he decided one more blade & I got smacked in the forehead. That was the day I learned that no matter how badly you are bleeding, do NOT use a rag socked in aeroshell & avgas to plug the hole….
SG’s comment: “I hope you didn’t get blood all over my aircraft!” LOL!!
