Going slightly off thread, i used to enjoy drinking in the Red Lion in Hinxton near Duxford in the early nineties.. especially after an airshow. It was not uncommon to see pilots such as the late Mark Hanna, together with his sister Sarah and i think Rolf Meum among others enjoying a post airshow beverage together. I think Mark’s usual tipple was a Guinness.
I’m ashamed to say i always used to sit myself and associated friends as close as possible to the pilots table.. straining to hear what was hot or not on the aviation scene… very interesting. 😉
