I had the great pleasure of flying with your father on my first tour and his second on 101 sqn from April 1968 to April 1970. The Bomb Comp you mention occurred just after we had arrived on the squadron and were still non-op. Taff flew with another crew, Mick Hibberd's I think, and they won the Comms trophy. He was an AEO of the highest calibre, but could be irritating on the subject of Welsh rugby, then in its heyday. I'm sure I must have some pictures of him somewhere; I'll look them out and get back to you. I haven't seen him since 1974 - I hear that like me he has thickened somewhat at the girth.
