No pics for this one......just a little info from Ken Rowe.

CORK Apr 70 ( Wessex G-ATBY).

On arrival at Cork the chief pilot was Jim Lawn and a Danish pilot whose name I can't remember. The chief engineer was John French with the "Grunts" being "Knackers" Sewell, Fred Clarke, myself Ken Rowe and Paddy McGrath as the radio operator and plotter. A radio operator was necessary because navigation was by DECCA nav-aids and the A.R.B insisted that all flights be plotted. We flew once a week on crew change day and stood by for any emergency.
Mr Bristow thought that this was a bit of a waste of resources so it was decided that we should do some training and we had many pilots visit us for Wessex conversion courses but even so it was still a holiday posting.
