John Morton-Fairey/Westland Test Pilot
Does anybody have any news or information re: John Morton?
He's been living in New Zealand since retiring in the 80s, but most of his friends have lost contact.
I flew with John on Rotodyne, Scout, Wasp and Lynx. He was a great Test Pilot and good companion in the air and on the ground.
I always felt safe with him and I think we had mutual respect for each other.
I and many others wish him well.

News update
The good news is that John is now living in Paraparamu, New Zealand.
I spoke with him by telephone and he sounded fine, like the John we knew so well. I am sure that all of us in the flight Test fraternity wish him well.
