Whilst Officer Commanding 43 Squadron at RAF Leuchars, Hank took HRH Prince Charles on a supersonic sortie in a Phantom F4.
1971
The flight included an air-to-air refuelling exercise with a Víctor tanker, taking on 1200 gallons of fuel. They flew as high as 40000 feet, and as low as 1000 feet, making a pass over Balmoral, (reported at the time as an 'extrovert flourish').
