It was the late Wing Commander John Morden who was to take command of 226 OCU at Lossiemouth. He'd managed to regain is flying catagory with restrictions following his operation at Papworth Hospital. He is the only fast jet pilot ever to return to fast jet flying. The other pilot was Wing Commander Bill Pixton ex CO of 41 Squadron who survived.
