They reckon the weakest
the captains had been trained in air-to-air refueling
We haven't got time
And so really
the risk was
for the end of all this trip,
that's at some point he's
was going to break the probe off
So they decided that the poor air-to-air
who would go with the crew
So they knew one another
and so poor old Dick on his 50th birthday.
Never been to war before.
He was absolutely horrified
because he thought he was just
But poor old Dick was sitting there
Nothing to do sitting on his parachute,
dreading every second of it.
And he was hearing all these screams
and he thought his number was up.
And I felt really, really sorry for him
His situation is not about sitting
but this poor guy.
It was a very poor
we relied very heavily on him
I was more practice at
refueling, actually getting
a joint, joining up and so on.
But he was very good at sitting there,
So...
well after the attack,
I went down the back
Slept like a baby because I'm so pleased
that I was still alive
And I
that I was needed there.
So and I
went up the little ladder goes up to this,
I just stood on the ladder
and they were about as low
While one is in the air,
I didn't know how far it was.
We had to go, but we were getting close
they were meant to be sending two out
to bring us home,
but another one to on unserviceable.
So they only had one
The two pilots who've been there have been
to you, to make sure that we could make
of fuel.
And I climbed into the seat.
And by that time,
who was actually coming south to meet us.
We were running late,
He was actually coming further down
And by this time of daylight,
and I still remember
or he did a perfect join up
tech and tactical navigation
And you can actually tell ranges
So as you're coming in,
he would actually know him
I don't know where it is
and it actually worked out a treat
and could see this
with the hose trailing behind.
I say it
