Something of a long shot after so much time has passed.
I have the log books of the above who was killed in a crop spraying accident in July 1963 flying a Hughes 269A for Management Aviation.
I would like to return them to the familly if possible.
I spoke to Alan Bristow (who appears in the books as an instructor) a number of years ago and he thought the familly had moved to Moulton Northamptonshire.
Last known address was MYOB, Overstone Road, Sywell, Northamptonshire.
He learnt to fly in Rhodesia and spent the war instructing.
After the war he converted to helicopters with John Fay and Alan Bristow as instructors.
He was engaged on Whale spotting in the South Atlantic on Westland WS55's from 1954 till
1961. He then went into general charter flying including some early film and police support for Rent-A-Copter LTD at Luton before joining Management as a crop spraying pilot.
He did some spray work in the WS 55 as well in 1960.
Any leads on surviving familly members would be much appreciated.
One interesting entry notes a passenger as John Lennon (beatle)!!!!!
