mutley 4,488 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hi Peter, I spotted you in one of those shots, did you ever fly the Hunter? A very enjoyable slide show of shots of just the thing I enjoy. I have yet to make it to Old Warden but it is on my to do list! These shots, especially the Home Guard remind me of a couple of great shows at Shoreham. Thanks for posting, much appreciated. Joe Link to post Share on other sites

Glad you enjoyed it Joe My Avatar is from a press photo of me standing beside my Hunter "Echo" XE609...I was on 208 Squadron in Nairobi from 1959 to 1961:- My avatar was taken the day we got this picture over Kilimajaro:- However, I was not flying Echo that day as it was u/s...I'm flying "Lima" XE544 in the "box". This is "Echo". Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,488 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hi Peter, Did you always fly number 4 position in the box, the most challenging I would imagine, especially inverted? I had a good look at your site and saw you in that position in in the Vampire (or is it a Venom?) I am very impressed with your "Green Endorsement" and your commendation in the Queens Birthday Honours List, you have a very entertaining and enjoyable site. Wonderful memories.

Joe, Thanks for visiting my site...Have not yet got around to my Hunter time there I found the most challenging position was number three...I always found it awkward looking hard right away from my throttle hand. I flew in aerobatic teams for a total of nearly seven years...Four in 2nd ATAF Germany in Venoms and nearly three in Kenya in Venoms and Hunters. I also did the Solo aerobatic displays in Kenya. Number four in the box was probably the easyest to fly normally but was more difficult when formation changes were involved. Link to post Share on other sites

The only book I can think of with my name in it a few times is a book called Venom by David Watkins Link to post Share on other sites
