Charlottetown Man Pilots Plane Used For VIP's

In the 18 months that Flying Officer dob Thompson has pilot- ed the RCAI-"s deluxe C-5 trans- port which is reserved for the use of VIP's wishing to get some- where in a hurry, he has visited most of the important cities of .he world, and has been respon- sible for the safe passage of some of the most important per- sonages of our day.

The youngest son of the late Lt.-Col. C.C. Thompson and Mrs. Thompson, Charlottetown, Bob was educated at West Kent School and Prince of Wales Col- lege. While at College Bob was a member of the Air Cadet Corps.

In his log book are such names as Bermuda, Iceland, Alaska,

Province Hit By Storm Year Ago

One year ago yesterday this Province was in the grip of one of the worst snow storms experi- enced in the Maritimes for some years.

On January 7th, northerly gales sent the temperature tumbling to new low records and the fol- lowing days saw both city and provincial plows struggling to reopen highways and communi- cations lines all over the pro- vince.

On the same date stores and schools in all centers of the pro- vince were closed, streets were blocked by mountainous drifts and food shortages were experi- enced in many sections due to the impossibility of delivery.

Prince Edward Island was com- pletely buried under the 16 inch snow fall and although the Pro- vincial Department plows work- ed throughout the day and night to try to keep the main arteries open they filled in within a short time due to the heavy drift which prevailed all over the pro- vince.

Bus and airline services were at a standstill until the fuPy of the blizzard had passed and in- deed for some time after.

By comparison, on the same date this year, Prince Edward Island enjoyed balmy weather and without any indication of a snowfall.

UNB President Dr. Colin B. Mackay said Tuesday he hopes to announce the dates soon.

_ CHRISTMAS STORY Rellglous plays for Christmas were a specialty of the 15th-cen- tury Portuguese dramatist Gil Vicente.

United States, United Kingdom. Holland. France, Germany, Hon- olulu, Wake Island, Guam, Phil- ippines, Singapore, Thai: and In-

Iaebanon, Malta, Gibralter, Azor- es, Iraq and Iran.

The majority of these world centres were visited at the time F0 Thompson piloted the C-5 when it carried former Health Minister Paul Martin on a nine- week round-tlie-world trip. DISAPPOINTMENT

In his short career as a VIP pilot F0 Thompson has exper- ienced one big disappointment. Flu last fall prevented him from

flying Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip from Ottawa to Virginia.

Only a week previous to that time he had been on the flight deck with co-pilots Wing Cmdr. Miller, CD. of 412 squadron, and W.G.S. Miller, C.O. of 412 squad- ron and F0 Bob Hush, for the dry run.

Consequently instead of nurs- ing the control of the plane for the real flight, Bob was confin- ed to his bed nursing a fever. However, he still hopes for the opportunity to fly royalty, and his chance may come next sum- mer when Princess Margaret makes her Canadian visit.

Among the list of top Canad-ian officials he has flown, are such names as: Governor-General Vin- cent Massey, Prime Minister Die- fefibaker, Defence Minis-ter Pear- kes, Finance Minister Fleming, Air Marshal C. Roy Slemon, Min- ister Without Portfolio, W. J. Browne, former Liberal cabinet ministers, Paul Martin, Lester B. Pearson, J a m e s Sinclair and Ralph 'Campney. In addition he has transported Anthony Eden and many other visiting dignitar- ies.

EXPERIENCED FLYERS

The selection of, the C-5 pilot is not the result of a haphazard choice by some friendly brass- hat. The man for the controls of this VIP craft must possess con- siderable experience in multiple- engined aircraft. F0 Thompson gained his on the Korean airlift with the 426 squadron.

The commanding officer of the squadron in making the selection, is influenced by the officer’s ex- perience and record. The age of the man also has a very definite bearing on his qualifications.

Thus the combination that is looked for is a mixture of, experience and exceptional re- cord plus the enthusiasm of youth

At 26, with six years of flying with the RCAF, F0 Thompson comes up to these qualifications and today occupies one of the top pilot assignments in the transport wing of the Air Force‘.

He took his first flying lesson with Paul’s Flying School, at the Charlottetown airport, and obtain- ed his pilots licence on his 17th birthday. Later he attended Roy- al Roads Military College as a cadet. Termigating his cadet’ training in 1951 he enlisted in the RCAF at Victoria, B.C.

F0 Thompson is -married to the former Anne Woodside, _a daugh-

ter of Rev. and Mrs. Russell
