I remember the day I wandered into 3 New Plaistow Road to buy a copy of Aviation News No.1; I was directed to the converted garages at the back and introduced myself.

“While you’re here would you mind sorting through that stack of photos and sticking them in the filing cabinets?”

“Sure”

That was my introduction to Alan (and Jerry Scutts) – somehow I stayed for over a year. My first paid job after graduating!

Got me into all of my writing & publishing.

Great memories – thanks mate!
