The last two photos date from summer 1986 at the latest probably a lot earlier than that.
The CAA have it as crashed 9/7/1980 which makes sense as the last recorded hours for the aircraft are 31/12/1979
I last saw him about 1990 ferrying a Hiller 12E at Humberside.
Nice guy ex WW2 Spitfire pilot.
Thank you Eric, I will let my friend know when I get to speak to him. He had himself a flight in a 2 seat Spitfire for his 91st birthday, fantastic chap.
