Hello all,

As part of the book I'm working on about the Canberra in international service, I've recently been in touch with a former Chilean Air Force PR.9 pilot, Carlos Graneris.

He remembers training with 231 OCU at Wyton in 1983 with Peter Challis, Dave Humpreys-Evans, and Dave Horton on the T.4 and Dave Watson in No.1 PRU. Does anyone here remember these men by chance, or better yet have contact details for them? I would love to get in touch with them about this time.

Steve

Dave Watson may well still be living in Wyton and may be a member of the Officers Mess. You could try writing to him care of the Mess.

Cheers, Stan, I'll give it a try. Any idea about the other three? In the meantime, here is a photo that Carlos (2nd from right) sent me showing his group at Wyton - hoping this may spark a few memories for people:

Thanks to those that have PM'd me with some details on Dave Watson; still looking for others if you have them. Does anyone here recognise any of the following 231 OCU personnel below?
