Mr Johnson did indeed drop the bomb on the Sorpe after a number of attempts. Good to see them looking sprightly. Shame I could not make the signing. (Panzerjohn, I’m sure you know it’s “Wallis”. Wallace is the other inventor who likes cheese.)
Couldn’t make Aces High tomorrow, unfortunately, due to being in Spain. Went 5 years ago for the 65th when Les Munro and others were there then. He said then he would never make the trip from NZ again. So I guess he may well be there in another 5 yrs!
