    I see The Pink Floyd's first producer and early Beatless recording engineer Norman Smith, died recently (AKA Hurricane Smith who had some early 1970's pop hits).

    Seems he was more important to Beatle history than I imagined. I see he was a WW2 glider pilot. Anyone know more of this part of his life?

    There are apparently some details in his autobiography 'John Lennon called me Normal' - not seen, but:
    Norman 'Hurricane' Smith - RAF Pilot ?
    indicates his being a co-pilot on a Hamilcar, including a Market Garden association.
