226OCU/RAF Lossiemouth 1978
Fellow Prunners,
I am trying to find the name of the Ecuadorian pilot who was killed on 1 November 1978 when his Jaguar crashed near Selkirk. Plenty of records refer to his nationality - none to his name. The Forms 540/541 for both station and OCU are, apparently, not in the National Archives and are in 'limbo' with the 'reviewers' before being deposited.
Any long memoried prunner who can help gets a free copy of a book tracing RAF aircraft accidents since 1954 to date (2600 serious prangs) and including Roll of Honour (2000 names). {hope this isn't classed as an overt ad - but if so, mia culpa, and apologies all round}
It's the last name I need so please dig deep into the memory buds!!
Old Duffer
