Thanks, Pypard.
I appreciate the impute and will take your advice for his RAF time, I knew that somewhere in the RAF system a department existed which would put them to good use. A lot of his "Africa time has been documented in a couple of books of aviation in Africa during the 50's and 60's so I'm hoping that the rest of the logbooks might be put to some use.
Like Dad I have just retired from flying although I took the helicopter route and even though I enjoyed the worldwide nomad pilot life mine seems very boring and tame to his.
Thanks again mate.
