RAF Form 414, Vol 32

So the logbook tales continue. I am out of the RAF and seeking an airline job but in the downturn there are few available. In the meantime I am working for British Aerospace flying Tornado F3s on trials flights. I had also been given the chance to deliver a Hawk 100 series trainer to the Royal Malaysian Air Force. I left you at Bangkok having turned a brand new aircraft into a blow torch and nearly cooking an inquisitive guard. Flying the last leg to RMAS Butterworth We complete our 7,000 NM to Malaysia Chasing the towed decoy trials Some of Hoppy’s aircraft had parted company We soon passed 600 knots and slipped through the sound barrier without a ripple I went off to a little commercial uniform shop to pick up my first of the 4 different Virgin Atlantic uniforms I would wear over the next 25 years.
