Greetings from Canada,

I am looking for information related to my uncle James (Jimmy) Masters EX RAF not sure of rank, either Squadron Leader or? He later joined British Aerospace and was honored for his work on the Concorde I believe either an MBE or OBE? I think he was an ex Halton Boy as was my father Flt Lt Geoffrey Masters. Uncle Jimmy was originally recognized for his work on the Woomera Rocket range in Australia. I have no family left who has any info on his achievements I would appreciate any info or leads members may have.

Thanks

Alan Masters

Hi Alan,

I don't know if this will be of any use to you but I have found a Concorde website. You might be able to make some contacts through this.
Club Concorde - The only Concorde Captains' website - Concorde memorabilia & signed photos (http://www.clubconcorde.co.uk/)

Good Luck!

It might also be worth writing to British Aerospace

BAE Systems (http://www.baesystems.com/)
