I don't have Dennis's helmet now, I left it behind when I immigrated in
1971, dear knows what happened to it.
Re. your Expenses, I only dealt with the Insurance aspect, you maybe had
your phone call with the Accounts Dept.
I know some of the names you mention, because I had to manually write
the Pension cheques for the Retirees.
Mike Ingle - Finch was on a Skyvan Sales Tour to Nepal.
The Royal Family were at their mountain Palace, the Queen had a burst
Appendix, so Mike flew her down ( at night ) to the lowlands to the
Hospital. That was the first Night Flight in Nepal, they did not have any
mountain beacons----- he got an order for Skyvans.
Dennis had an MG, I think it was an MGC GT, he used to take it in the
Belfast, so that he had transport .
He was a bit of a lead foot, he was going along the Autobahn in Germany
when an accident happened ahead. he could not stop in time, and he
ended underneath an 18 wheeler truck. He now had a convertable
,
but he had the sense do unbuckle his seat belt and lie sideways before
the impact. I think he damaged / broke his leg, but was not seriously
injured.
When Shorts made the FOKKER wings, they were late with a delivery of
wings to Schiphol. They got permission from the Air Ministry, and flew 2
sets of wings in the hold of the BELFAST. The people at Schiphol were very
surprised.
Did you know Ozzie Morris, who became Company Chief Inspector
