TRIBUTE TO JACK LAST

TACK LAST was known to us all in Norfolk

J u, a local character, for his good humour and his outspoken Norfolk turn of phrase. He was a first-class all-weather flyer and hardly ever missed a Sunday's flying summer and winter. He would visit his farming friends on a Sunday morning, land on their flelds, have a " noggin " and then take off on the next visit.

His flying career began in the early years of the last war. He was trained in Canada and later became a flying instructor on Beauforts. He was one of the original members of the Snoring Group, one of the first groups to re-commence flying in Norfolk after the last war. Jack was a keen continental flyer and made several trips with friends to France and Germany during the summer months. Apart from being a good all-

Popular Flying, March-April, 196l weather pilot Jack was an exceptional navigator; he would fly for miles, rarely looking at a map yet having thoroughly memorised his route and always 100% on course.

Among his other interests was his support for Norwich City Football Club of which he was a member. During the club's Cup run of the year before last he was at every game until they were defeated and generally flew his aircralt to the away fixtures. Fle was also chairman of the Aylsham pistol and rifle club in which he took a very keen interest.

Jack Last did a great deal to promote private flying and he will be remembered by many, many people as a grand type and a very good friend.
