I'm delighted to be able to say yes, my name is Tom Jones and I've now lived for 98 years,
00:07
going on next month 99 years. I was a LAC, it was my correct title, 17, 17, 9, 3, 8 LAC,
00:18
and I was the lowest form of animal life I think would probably be suggested in flying,
00:26
although when I had nobody on board, well other than the crew, I was flying it from
00:36
Ceylon to the Dutch East Indies and thoroughly enjoying every minute of it because it was a
00:43
wonderful thing. I'd just done my job, got on with my job, done as I was told and here I am.
00:51
I'm sure none of them are alive still because they were all older than me at the time.
