JHB Airlines Crew

	JHB003 Orzel Plunt	Orzel is one of the founder members of JHB, joining us three weeks before the airline started. Orzel lives in Ballykatabatic in a country residence known as Condemned by the local council. Apart from his JHB activities Orzel's hobbies include Whippet Flunting - a vague and ancient traditional English sport which involves no small amount of danger to man or beast - and Ram Snatch - a vague and ancient traditional English sport which involves no small amount of danger to man or beast. Orzel is unmarried. No photo of Orzel exists but he provided me with a picture of his pet ram, affectionately known by local residents as That Evil Bloody Bastard.
	JHB007 John Woodside	A handsome but reclusive figure otherwise known as Bones, Dipstick, Oi You! or simply God, Not Him Again.. Drifted into aviation because he couldn't get a proper job and ended up in ATC with the other cast-offs. Was "let go" 37 years later when they realised he hadn't actually done anything. Is seen late at night talking to his computer. A sad case.
	JHB010 Mike Lucas	One of the company's two Scotsmen (no jokes about what's worn under the kilt - it's all in perfect working order). Reluctantly re-hired by Bones, despite earlier experience with me at Noble Air, for my intimate knowledge of Wick. SWMBO has come to tolerate my flight simming as safer and more acceptable (possibly cheaper too) than spending similar amounts of time down the pub ... Age 58 but - with 2 teenage children - no prospect of retirement for the foreseeable future. Jack-of-all-trades .... master of none.
	JHB037 Phil Reynolds	Lives in Birmingham. No more need be said.
	JHB068 Gerry Winskill	Had 72 birthdays but not matured yet. Retired for 15 years and now Manx based bike junky; provided the roads aren't damp. When not working on bikes, including sidecar project, can be found in front of the FS9 setup. Addicted to three screen use and breeding Farm Strips. Occasionally emerge from garage or den, mainly for meals, to maintain reputation as GOM, to listen to jazz CDs or reassure myself I'll never be able to play the tenor sax. Very tolerant Manx SWMBO.
	JHB130 Peter Dodds	Born, raised and schooled with greatest care Downhill (a coal pit) went from there But finding England far too cold He went to Oz to dig for gold Finding none, back home he came And a Water Engineer became Restored a working narrowboat And spent his leisure time afloat When boating drained his pockets dry He broke the bank and learned to fly Then pensioned off before his prime To writing took to pass the time. One fateful day saw FS4 In the local Dixons store Simming ever since, alack He's now a total anorak In something of a backwards life He then had kids (but first - a wife) Never bored, life's cup is brimming Until he's dead he'll still be simming!"
	JHB144 Tom Smith	Age: 61 Occupation: Retired
	JHB153 Paul Reynolds	For those wondering why Orzel's pet is armed to the teeth, well, I believe I'm the token Welshman of the company. A founder member of the Edwina Currie depreciation society (also known as Slobbers World or the Keep Fat club), my nickname (Hippo) actually comes from my demeanour, not my size or diet. Yet as time goes by it seems more apt than ever.
	JHB156 Ernie Laycock	Age 87 (and counting) Ex RAF Wireless op.mechanic (1936-1945) Singapore 38-41 Yes I got out !! On Sunderland flying boats. FS fanatic since Chuck Yeager era. Pretty much housebound now with frail SWMBO.
