208 was, as Twinkle remarked last year, the world’s best flying club. But what we may have lacked in professionalism we more than made up for in esprit-de-corps and joie de vivre. And it has been a constant source of pleasure and amusement at these dinners to see many of the old faces at the top of their profession in civil aviation in such Blue Chip organisations
as Cathay Pacific and British Airways and to remember them as the “bad lads” of 208 in the 1950s. In conclusion Tricia and I would like to thank the Association for a very pleasant dinner.
