"My late (d. Aug 25) grandfather was a pilot with 76 Sqn and flew sniff 2 on Grapple Z 'Burgee'.
While he was still alive, and thankfully before he completely lost all memories, we managed to claim his Nuclear Test Medal."
Hi Throb. My father was there also, Sniff 2 Nav on Grapple Z 'Pennant' so I'm sure they will have known each other/flown together. Simone, daughter of Joe Pasquini (76 sqn sampler) is doing a lot of work on this - if you PM me I can give you more details and put you in touch - she is very interested in log books etc and trying to keep the knowledge alive even as participants inevitably pass away with the passage of time.

ps looking at the Operational report for Grapple Z, I can see the names and times of the Burgee trial.
