  1. The Welsh Mountains are still used by the Armed Forces for flight training and it still sometimes comes to bad end. My Dad had a mate called Terry who came over from South Africa to learn advanced engineering at Leyland Motors, decided it was a bit dull relatively speaking and so joined the Fleet Air-Arm. Sadly, when push comes to shove in thick cloud at zero feet Welsh Mountain trumps Westland Whirlwind. He was a really lovely bloke (Well I was about 10 or 11 years old and he gave me this two foot plus Zulu sword like a Gladius with a spiky point worn in an arm sheath .......... So I thought he was brilliant).
