Thanks so much for posting this. Will was my dad and I’d never seen this photo before!! He had a fear of flying – I wonder if he went up in the plane!
I will ask Dave Thorndike next time I see him if he knows Lesley
Lesley I am being told that your dad did go flying at that time. I wonder what happened?
Sorry for extremely delayed response!! Well, he did fly when we used to go on holiday but he definitely didn’t like it! I can’t imagine him going up in something so small!!
