I thought John was, although technically 'retired' from General Manager status,staying on strength as a part-timer reservist?
Mick Jennings is still there (one of my ex- 'bosses' in RAF) I notice from the web...small world this aviation;

)

Actually, I have the same amount of hair I always did. It just grows from different places now.

I'm not totally sure what John's status is with the RNHF these days, although I'm sure he's still flying for them. I believe an ex-boss of mine Lt Cdr Mike Abbey is now the CO as they wanted to have a serving boss for various reasons.

I saw some beautiful pictures of this airplane at Oshkosh.
