Hi, This is Bob Prothero. Very interested to hear you were on the BOI of the AAR accident. I had left Marham and was at Offutt AFB when the accident occured. I had known Neddy since the early 60s, and was pretty shocked to hear from Alaister Sutherland, at Offutt on a Ranger shortly after, what had happened. I can read the basics, but Alaister said much more about the Buccs initially denying their involvement, and then it turned out they were blatently disregarding the GASOs in relation to the AAR conversion of Bucc pilots, and the supervisory aspects of the flight. Any comment? Neddy was unconsious in the water I believe, and very lucky to be picked up .... SARBE activated? Be good to hear from you....
