  • Memorial– My name is Benny Hall, SAL Technician, I was the last person to speak to Ian on his departure that day. In memory of Ian I did this painting of what was supposed to happen that morning after Ian's radar approach on Ailsa Craig, while I waited at the end of the runway for Arrestor hook and drag chute testing. Sad, sad day in my memory. G P Hall, AME Mech. E.
