PeterO - I remember your father Alan well with a great sense of humour so he and dad Hector got on very well. (I think he attended Hector's funeral in 1995)

Yes sadly Ralph Reid-Buckle (who did much work for the Air Training Core) died in the Varsity accident. His partner was Gillian Campbell (nee) who was an air traffic controller at EMA for quite a few years and often used to pop in to EMSF and I believe she also did R/T tests - last heard of as a controller at Gibraltar.

Another one to add to the countless list of those who went on to fly with the airlines was Keith Munro who went to Orion Airways and then Cathay Pacific where he got his command on the B747.

When I get a moment I will have a look at Hector's logbooks (assuming I can read his scrawl!) for some more names!
