North from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory

After 10 years as First Officer with CPA, my first opportunity for a captaincy was an opening on the DC-3, flying the route Whitehorse - Mayo - Dawson City in the Yukon.

It would not have been my first choice if I had had another option, but as it turned out, it was one of the best years of my life.

Only those that have lived in the north will know what I mean. After a year you don’t want to leave and go “outside“.

We are now back to 1967 when we arranged a River boat Shuffle on the river Thames.

Two coaches were arranged to take colleagues to the Thames at Charing Cross Pier. A full boat and a great band. A good friend of mine was part of the band.

The singer became part of the Hot Chocolate Pop group in its early days.
