I had to fly a Christmas op over Nam with Pongo, Stiffy and Malcom "Needledick" Barchild

None of us even made it to the drop zone, it was hell out there. Pongo copped an icicle right up his jacksie and Stiffy didn't see a snow plough coming. I did 14 months in the Heathrow Hilton before being released on a prisoner exchange.

No-one ever heard anything about malky till he was found by a team of crack Greek planespotters. He was living in a grit bunker at the west end of runway 2, surviving on KFC and road salt. He weighed 264lbs and could only say "Aviva"
