In one word – knackered – after 6 hours on the m’way. Even though well chauffeured. And getting in & out of the Spitfire in front of those cameras showed my age!!
Post war? Mostly flying a mahogany desk! But interspersed with commanding RAF Turnhouse &, later, Apprentice Wing, Locking, multi training on Oxfords & Varsities, a bit of Meteor 7, 600 hours on a Shackleton squadron, escorting the Red Pelicans to Nigeria, i/c Escape Systems & Rescue for 3 years in MoD, Defence Protocol, Air 1 at CFS …………………………..??
And then 30 years Fine Art, Picture Framing, Conservation…………………………………….

Adler Tag – RIP. I wrote Derek at the time & that’s my lot. There are several sensible reviews on the net (far more searching than I could write) which argue both sides.
You’ll have seen this before (?) but just have to note that you’re at the top of the page!
