I am researching background stories for a series of articles (and/or book) on never before published RAF flying duties and aircraft types, from 1950 to 1975.
Using the power of the internet, I would like to hear from any ex-aircrew who served on one or more of the following types (and who would be prepared to have any of these stories recorded in print) -
Boeing B-29 Washington B Mk 1
Bristol Brigand
Lockheed Neptune MR1
NA B-45 Tornado (I know, but worth a try!
)
Avro York
Single and Twin Pioneers
Bristol Belvedere
DH Comet (including R1)
Hunting Pembroke
HS Andover
Short Belfast
This could be your chance to to tell others about your important contribution to the RAF, the UK and the Cold War in general. Not everybody flew the glamorous types!
In the first instance, please PM me if you have an interest in contributing to this project.
In addition to the list above, I am also interested to hear from any ex-crew members who flew as AQMs in the RAF, before the award of a dedicated flying badge.
Regards,
Trev Clark
