Serious mates. I think it survived the fire, when I had a place in an old hall about 18 years ago. 'Ginger' was the Honorary President of the Aviation Society my brother was a member of , up in North Yorkshire, near Scarborough. I went a couple of times, to present some AV shows, and met him. I had a pic of him on the wing of his MkXIV (reproduced from a book), plus a couple of pics with his Hurricane during the BoB, and he signed the Spit pic. I'm just hoping the pic has survived, as I lost a few hundred pics of my own, plus over 1,220 35mm transparencies I'd taken over the years.
He was a nice guy, but expensive to drink with!
