AVM John W Price (Tail Rotor Price)
Sad to report the loss of another rotary man - the second this week.
AVM John Price, known as Tail Rotor as he bashed several on the ground when flying the Whirlwind.
JWP came to helicopters having flown with distinction with the RAAF in Korea. He commanded 110 Sqn in the Far East during the latter part of Confrontation and was later 'big' in the Buccaneer world.
A decade ago he had a serious stroke from which he never fully recovered. He was 89.
Funeral - Hereford Cathedral Friday 10 May 1130 hours.
Old Duffer
