I've come into this thread a bit late, but......

To Savoia -

I am especially curious to discover the identity of the Sycamore pilot in the grey coveralls with the tache (moustache) at 1:16 in the clip. There is something vaguely familiar about him!
It might be Pete Wilson - evidently Bristol, then Westland.

Of Charles Hughesdon...........did meet his pilot however, on several occasions at Brooklands. I recall he was a slightly tall and slender chap, politely spoken and in the early 80's was starting to grey.
That was probably Geoff Cocks.



To vfr440 -
I was CE at Manns
Do I know you? Does 'Chip Bath' mean anything to you?

Re. G-NOEL, I had the pleasure of conducting the 1200hr inspection that turned 'WN into 'EL. Complete with painting the instrument panel and circuit breaker panel a light beige to match the new interior (and having all the edge-lit and breaker panels re-engraved) what a nightmare.
