George's Flying Visit

Not every day a Gordonian visits the school in a helicopter! While his usual mode of transport to school was by car, today Flight Lieutenant George Whiteman made the ultimate entrance – in a Juno HT1 (Airbus H135)! George, a former boarder in Balmoral, landed on the Front Field as part of his training for RAF Shawbury which requires him to conduct landings in fields away from his RAF base. The former Drum Major of the Pipes and Drums managed a quick hello to his former CCF commanders, School Staff Instructor (SSI) Phil Fox, Officer Commander (OC) John Balmer; Squadron Leader Peter Mockeridge and Flying Officer Jamie Sumsion before heading home. Great to see you again George!
