More cold war jets bbc doc stuff - looking for a few things
Hi guys, me again...
Thanks for all the responses so far from my previous pleas for help - all very useful stuff. At the moment I'm trying to find ground crew of all stripes who worked with RAF jets in the 1950s and 1960s. Meteors, Lightnings, Canberras and V-bombers especially! And also any engineers/designers from that time who could help explain why the Canberra could fly so high for its time, why the Vulcan's delta wings were so effective, etc.
And now a couple of long shots - does anyone know of anyone who had direct experience of TSR.2 in the early 60s?
And does anyone know of any surviving RAF pilots who flew F-86 Sabres in Korea?
Cheers
Tom
