Had the pleasure of knowing Nick for many many years . Worked with him in early 80’s at RAF Shawbury ,as SAC Blip drivers. Nick was loud and opinionated when he had a drink in him , but never to be taken seriously . Had a citron Diana with a gear shift on the dash board , which he loved and drove with the roof rolled back . Think Alan Partridge was based on him ! Even said argh argh while quaffing his beer. Had an on off relationship with a n SACW called Jill who worked in the Tower. Great knowledge of aircraft types and loved using different voices while simulator driving. Feel lucky to have met him . RIP mate
