bumped into Noel in his last month of fitters course when i just started mine.......

then bumped into him again 2 years later back at locking - he was on a post grad course (cant remember which) and vby then got his stripes up, I was 4-Prop doing the four month AR3D Type 94 course, pre falklands deplotyment!
