Douglas Bader
Sir Geoffrey de Havilland DSO OBE CBE
Guy Gibson VC
Adrian Warburton DSO DFC

I think it was Jed who got the Dutch Dunking. The last few Neptune visits happened during my first tour at Kinloss,no luck with a flight, I heard they were a better aircraft crew comfort wise compared to Shacks.

I found that the crews of Nimrods were a special team with a great sense of humour, many of the customs have not changed since WW2,heres hoping the few left keep the traditions alive.

I thought his name was Colin However, long time ago………….

And yes, I had a flight in a Dutch Neptune.

Back in my air cadet days, I was told by the CO not to salute him if he wasn’t wearing a hat because he couldn’t return the salute.
