Devil Ken Goodwin

Just a query. Is Air Commodore Ken Goodwin still with us? I got to know him in the early 1960's when he was a FltLt with CFE at West Raynham and the RAF's Hunter 6 display pilot. Some fabulous displays of a nature not seen today and which gave him quite the reddest facial colour seen on the airshow circuit. He went on to command 74 Squadron on Lightnings and was with the Royal Flight at one time.

A fantabulous party goer and a superb pilot who rose to a rank that all thought utterly unattainable with his reputation.

Cheers,

Trapper 69


PS - My reason for asking is that nearly 50 years after we flew together, on a type check for him in a Tiger Moth at Little Snoring, it would be nice to get in touch. I am, however, not into seances or planchette boards.
