OldBOACpilot is still around age 94. He flew Wellingtons from 1940-1945 with 9 squadron and 70 squadron and instructed on them for 29 OTU at Bruntingthorpe, North Luffenham, Woolfox Lodge and Biddeswell. While instructing he also operated on one of the 1000 bomber raids when there were just under 1000 operational bombers and they used some of the knackered training aircraft and instructors to make up the numbers.
He is not very mobile but still has his marbles and has a better memory of those days than he has of where he left his spectacles or what he did last week. He has some good stories, was very fond of the Wellington and would be happy to talk to you. He hasn't been on this forum for a while but you can get in touch with him through me. He lives in Berkshire.
