RAF Pilots that flew U2's
Our Flight Commander on Vampire AFTS at Linton on Ouse (No 5 Valley Course) in 1964 was Sqn Ldr Cox. I do not remember his first name. He said he had flown the U2 in Japan. He also said another RAF officer *** Austin had converted to the type at the same time. I would be intersted to know if this can be verified. S/L Cox was quite unusual in that he was promoted to Sqn Ldr and took over the unit that he been an instructor on the day before. All the other instructors arrived and said Morning Dave (or whatever his first name was) Sir!
