Well off the beaten track now but another rather long shot request. Back in June 1968 the Ethiopian AF dropped into Luton with a C-54 serialled "727". I don't suppose anyone can help with their callsign? Picture (not one of mine) on the Luton History and Nostalgia thread.
Sorry I'm a bit late on board. Mr. Raffles lived in a fabulous house on Ham Common near Richmond in Surrey and drove up to LHR every morning in his Bentley. He took me with him once in 1965 when I was twelve. He told me he had crashed his previous two aircraft; a Cessna and a Mooney and, of course, he went on to crash Zulu Charlie and walk away. Anyone know anything about those events? "Raffles One" was definitely in use before the arrival of his last aircraft and he used that call sign to bring it into LHR from Sweden.
