228 OCU History

A2QFI - don't ever say 'John Walmsley's history of 228 OCU' - it was produced by Gordoon Moulds, who later produced a similarly excellent book on 226 OCU when it operated the mighty Lightning.

Gordon was laid up after ejecting from the aircraft in which Dave Nelson died (I was alongside as it happened) and it formed the start of his considerable fundraising for charity, for which he was rightly awarded the MBE
