There was a Sergeant Signaller on 152 Sqn in Bahrain in 1959/61 called Tony Stafford, who flew with me a lot on Twin Pioneers and Pembrokes and we got on very well.I returned to the UK in August 1961 and heard Tony had been accepted for pilot training as an NCO in 1962. I understand he went on to helicopters, but this was not confirmed and I never met him again.
