Dan Gurney last heard of in Canada - try Ed Durham at ed_durham@btinternet.com who runs the Lightning Pilots' website.

I THINK I have a contact but have sent PM to confirm.

I think I may know the D H (David Harold) Thomas you list. These days he lives in Spain, but reurns to the UK regularly. If you PM me your name and a contact email address I'll ask Dave to contact you if he is the right one.

G-O-S, if you check `93rd Entry ,Halton`,you will find pics of Derviller,Rayfield,and Gurney,,maybe the Sec has contacts,altve; check `Sec of `etpsa.org` ,for DG..

W-00,if you are communicating with GRfld,perhaps you might ask him;1,what did he do with the `ladies small garment trophies` that he used to`acquire` at weekends? 2.what did SWO `Doughy` Baker ask him about his nickname one day ,parading to work..3 Ask him about the Varsity...?

Thanks Gents, I have contacted Dan Gurney in Canada, Chunqi ('cos he lives in Bretagne now) Rayfield, and Dave Thomas in Jerez. Will follow up the lead for Derviller.

I'm a newby!

I'm guessing that you might have a connection with Shoeburyness a million years ago? My grandson is now quizzing me on my youthful misdeeds! :
