Jock Maitland in Korea.

In 1987during an extended individual aviation photo tour in the USA .
I visited Kingman airfield to see what was there worth photographing.
I met a chap there who invited me to his small facility on the airfield.
Noticing a load of F86 Pics. I asked his interest.
He then told me that he and Jock Maitland flew the last operational F-86 "Sortie" of the Korean war together.

He said he had lost touch with him and did I know him.
I did know him from wearing my Accredited Press hat at various Biggin hill events.
I contacted his son at Biggin and passed on the details of the chap at Kingman.
I left things at that , so I do not know if Jock followed it up .

Maybe pruners can verify if this was correct about the last sortie ?.

OPF
