Thank you for the reply - you and others are certainly correct about WFF. My interest in the Darfur event is that, until their recent deaths, the son and daughter-in-law of Sir John were close neighbours and good friends. The bullet was one of a number of artefacts of Sir John. I found your previous (and very informative) post some months ago when researching Sir John’s life and career in order to put together a talk to some aviation history buffs at my local RAFA Branch.
