Griffo, there is a chance (given SP's comments) that 901 may have been the very craft used to pluck your Dad from the Seahawk!

I may have asked this before and if that's the case then my apologies but .. do you have any photos from your Dad's flying days?

The permission for this came in sooner than I anticipated .. so here is another photo of another Dragonfly taken by another Clarke at Chatham!

As an aside, the last two vessels to be built at Chatham (both Oberon-class submarines) were Ocelot (for the Royal Navy) and Okanagan for the Royal Canadian Navy.
