Thanks so much for this, great hearing from these very lucky guys of their time on such an iconic aircraft and still so wonderful in the eyes of so many.
I remember JR very well on 5 Sqn, I ran a line shift on 5 for some time. I had to get over to Jever while on 5, didnt know what route I was to take so I asked the Boss, Wg Cdr Mike Streton who duly got me a T-bird over to Jever with JR being my 'driver'. JR, if you read this, can you check your log book for the aircraft and exact date...thanks. ps, your looking well !!

Will there be more PIlot Interviews like this?
We really hope so! Thank you asking it’s good to know that people enjoy the stories. Also suspect that some we’ve already spoken to have more to say!
