Unfortunately due to the lack of 'family closeness' these days. I have just been informed that my Uncle, Air Commodore(rtd) Joe Matthews passed away peacefully at his home in Salmon Arm in BC about 3 months ago.
I know from previous posts on this thread that he flew Vulcans before being grounded after the 'wing incident'.
I also know that his last posting was at SHAPE headquarters before his retirement from the RAF and subsequent employment with BAE. He then retired to Canada.
I did hear that he was CO at Medmenham before his last posting.
Can any of you fill in the gaps please?
PS I am 55 today not 12 and don't know how that happened.
