If you're not familiar with his museum it's about 200yds from Gatwick's threshold and is choca with British Hardware

The sight of a Shack with all 4 burning and turning so close to the modern tubeliners always made me smile

On the few occasions I met him he was always very helpful and informative.

I can pretend the aircraft are in shall we say 'the best condition', but it's always somewhere I visit if I'm passing

Kind regards

John
