Gazman - Frank Clapp

Gazman,

Frank Clapp was the pilot of a 213 Sqn Canberra B(I) 6 which crashed near Roermond in 65 or 66 (I am fairly sure of the year, but could confirm it). His navs were Dai Dingle and Joe Sime.

The causes of the crash could be debated, but no blame should be ascribed to the crew whatever, believe me please.

They were, each one of them, fine officers and very fine men. I was very fond of Dai in particular.

The crash came a few years after a 213 midair, in the early sixties, when two aircraft and, I think, five men were lost.

If you PM me with your private e-mail address and convince me you are who you say you are, I can tell you more.
