Headgardener,
Ring 'Disclosures' again and with the info you now have, just ask them to peek at his record and tell you the squadron he was on when he was shot down, 'cause you know this nice old duffer who is bored out of his skull and who has promised to scour Chorley et al to satisfy you urgent curiosity for info.
Last time I met C G-B was in the mess at Rhein-D circa '77 and he was holding forth about the - shall we say 'politely' - the slightly shaky start the Jaguar was having in entry to service. G-B opined that the aircraft was the first RAF type to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Years later and before Gulf War One, I was i/c the support organisation for this most wonderful of beasts and after the unpleasantness was over, I considered inviting G-B to come for lunch at HW so that I could boast that when the chips were down the old girl was a good'un. Unfortunately, by then it was too late.
