110enjoy the most relaxed and pleasant evening with him and his delightful wife %u2013 and an outstanding wine cellar.Bidding a fond farewell to Fokker the following morning %u2013aviation needs people like him %u2013 I was tossed around in a Shorts commuter aircraft, doubling up as a furniture van, for the brief journey to Amsterdam. The following flight was much more comfortable and, for a while, I was quite relaxed %u2013 but it couldn%u2019t last, and it didn%u2019t.

So, we just parked near some other aircraft which looked like they were visitors, and shut down. For once, we were in the right place and, after a few moments, we were enthusiastically greeted by some Polish Air Force officers, who were much more interested in looking at our aircraft than giving us any idea what, where and when we should be doing. An interesting weekend ahead!We did, eventually, ascertain a sort of programme and timings of briefings and, importantly, where we would accommodated. In this we ably helped by a very old friend of mine, an RAF Group Captain (the co-Editor of this book no less), who was at Deblin with a joint RAF/industry sales team.
