I was on a holiday flight to the Caribbean about ten years aboard a 747, sitting in the middle seat of a row of three. My wife was to my left in the aisle seat, and to my right was a man who looked to be in his eighties, well dressed, short in stature, and keeping himself to himself. Later in the flight he and I were queuing to use the loo and I noticed he was wearing what looked like an RAF tie. I asked him about the tie and we struck up a conversation in which he told me his story.
He was a rear gunner, a Tail-End Charlie, aboard Lancaster Bombers during World War II. He’d been on many missions but had survived them all without a scratch. After the was most of his former comrades turned their back on aviation as they’d seen enough of aeroplanes to last a lifetime, but this chap harboured a desire to be in the cockpit; he wanted to be a pilot.
So as soon as he was able to he learned to fly, honed his skills, and set about creating a business as crop dusting pilot. He made a modest living at it and one day found himself at an airfield in Holland watching another crop dusting pilot practising approaches and low level passes. When this pilot landed walked over the the aircraft to introduce himself. Out of the aircraft stepped a tall, well built man with several gold teeth.
Over the next few days and weeks these two war veterans got to know each, and the Englishman learnt that this acquaintance was a former Stuka pilot who was one of the very few who had served in the three theatres of War; in North Africa, on the Eastern Front, and on the Western Front in the final months of the war. By a combination of skill and luck he had survived but such was his love of flying that he too had chose crop dusting as a career. These two former enemies paired up and went into a business together for a while.
There’s nothing particularly unusual about two former enemies cooperating with each other for their mutual benefit, but it was one of those stories that might never be repeated again unless either of these veterans had made a record of it somewhere themselves. If you’ve heard this story before or can shed any light on it then please use the Comment form below to let me know.
From the latest IAOPA newsletter:
The UK is proposing to decommission 28 VORs across the country, leaving a network of just 19 which will also be phased out after Europe’s own satellite system has been launched. Responsibility for the upkeep of the beacons rests with National Air Traffic Services, a private company owned by the airlines. They say the VORs are becoming obsolete and are no longer supported by their manufacturers, and must either be replaced at huge cost or abandoned.
NATS says NDBs will be gone by 2015, and thereafter only enough VORs should be left to allow aircraft to conform to B-RNAV standards. It assumes that the use of satellite navigation for all phases of flight will become progressively more dominant until a point is reached beyond 2020 when NDB and VOR will not be required at all, and DME/DME fixing will provide a fallback if satellite navigation is not available.
The European Commission is looking to a seven-year transition out of VORs, and will not abandon them altogether until after its own Galileo satellite system is in place. Contrary to its initial plans, it intends to provide the basic Galileo signal free of charge.
