Melvyn, As a matter of fact, we were both there at the same time for the Firebird auditions, and Duxford as well. Our paths divided when you got the job, whereas I was recomended by Alan W to ‘try to polish up the old gob****e!’
I was told I was on their reserve list, and in the absence of info to the contrary, I believe I still am.
I swear I didn’t sleep with anyone for the job . . .
Did a little flying, lots of driving and commentated at some wierd places.
Firebird has, sadly, gone now as there is no sponsorship.
Alan W is now flying Historic Flying’s stuff now and won the display award at the last Farnborough for his display on the T67. Him damn good!

My gob****e must have been OK!
