First thing ... Hi Splash, I am not sure who your father was, but I have spent about 7 hours recently with the Victor Test Pilot, John Allam, and am analysing his log books at the moment.
Apart from that on the aircrew side, I met Rod Jarvis last week for a session going through his log books from B2 days. He thinks Barry Gould might be living in the South Coast area, but I cannot get a trace at the moment. Perhaps more Victor people will appear at the V-Force reunion.
In case anyone is interested, I am meeting John Burleigh, Gerry Mudford, and Jeff Fletcher next week.
I am still keen to hear from ex- Wittering/Gaydon aircrew and groundcrew. As a result of all the publicity around 715, I have been contacted by 6 groundcrew who are keen to help keep the aircraft operational - well almost! We are hoping to have a meet and greet at Bruntingthorpe in the early New Year - will publish the date in case anyone else wants to join in.
Best regards to all. Bob
