Question

I posted on the 'Where are they now' forum asking if anyone knew what happened to Geoffrey Wellum after the war. Phreegreens replied that he thought that he might have been one of the BofB pilots interviewed in the programme. Can someone please tell me whether this is true?
I'm sure that there cannot be any aviation loving person who has not read 'First Light' by Geoffrey Wellum, but if so, it is his account of his training to fly in the RAF, and joining an operational Spitfire squdron in 1940 at the age of eighteen.
