Paul Millikin Vulcans - Andy BBMF
Chattertons too
Harvey Hliliyard I saw mention of and lastly Canberras and Graham Shackleton
Dick Emerson and Grubsey

Just wish in retrospect we had been able to talk to our bemedalled seniors. Just what did you do in the war Boss? But it just was not done - shop, hangar doors, shooting a line - all infradig
Hadn't seen you reply there Pontius, forgive the tardy reply. Chap I flew with on the UAS had a father who was a senior flyer. He had a brother who didn't want anything to do with the service IIRC and I don't think he himself joined up. We used to ambush our adj in the bar, eager for tales of his wartime experience. Provided the Guinness kept coming, he was happy to oblige.
