Tony Booth was an aircraft mechanic, a job that had its dangerous moments, especially when guns were fired accidentally while the planes were being serviced or the bombs were dropped as they were being mounted under the wings of the Beaufort planes.
Tony said the ground staff duty crew had been lucky that night as it was part of their duty to be at the dispersal bay to check the crew and plane on parking but their truck had broken down and they were delayed getting there.
Tony was given a big 'thumbs up' so then knew all was in order but he became concerned again when the pilot banked sharply, flew over the airstrip and 'shot it up' then came in and landed, all on one engine.

 Observer | Family life at No 10, as Cherie's dad sees it
Tony Blair's father-in-law, Tony Booth, lifted the lid on private life inside Downing Street yesterday with an attack on Gordon Brown for having 'no heart' and claimed that the Chancellor sometimes drove the Blairs 'mad'.
A dimmer view, however, will be taken of Booth's admissions that he does not agree with the Blairs sending their children to the grant-maintained London Oratory school, and that their daughter Kathryn wants to be an actress.
Booth, who left Cherie's mother when his daughter was nine, admitted he had not known his daughter was pregnant again until she miscarried earlier this summer.

 BBC News | UK POLITICS | Blair rejects father-in-law's criticism
Tony Booth had called on the prime minister to restore the link between the annual pension rise and average earnings, which he said would free thousands of pensioners from reliance on state benefits.
"Tony says it's [chancellor] Gordon Brown's decision but I pointed out to the prime minister that he is first secretary of the Treasury and he has the authority to intervene to correct the mistakes and miscalculations of this chancellor and he should do so," he said.
Rejecting Mr Booth's criticism of the chancellor, he said that the extra £6.5bn put into pensions through special and targeted measures during this parliament was a result of Gordon Brown's management of the economy.

 Profiles of powerful women
When Cherie married Tony (they were both young lawyers and prominent members of the local labour branch) she made a decision to concentrate on law, and a family.
After all, her socialist pedigree is better than Tony’s: her grandfather was a miner and her father, who played Alf Garnett’s layabout son-in-law in Till Death Do Us Part, is seen as something of a class warrior, and her mother worked in a chip shop to support her daughters, after Tony Booth left her.
It is almost as if when she married Tony, she made a decision to become a back-seat driver, keeping a low profile and trying not to get involved with her husband’s politics.

His other eight fights ended in draws and when Booth is serious for a moment, which is rare because he is a wicked mimic, he will, in a perfectly lucid and sensible fashion, break down the realities of life as a hired loser in the modern boxing business.
