"I have many fond memories of John, he was my first Flight Commander after I left training at Middle Wallop and I learned a lot from him in the early stages of my flying career.
To have met him again as C.O. in Herford when I was a Lt was indeed a surprise. I remember when he came in one day really excited as you were about to have Holly and then when he brought in the first photographs he was over the moon and could not stop smiling all day!"
