UFO on Isle of Sheppey

JK67saucer67
Hi. Checking my logbook, I see that I flew a sortie to the isle of Sheppey on 4th September 1967 with Flt Lt. Colin Goodman and Master Signaller Murphy to the UFO incident. I don't know if this in addition to the sortie with Flt.Lt Robson. I clearly remember examining the "saucer" and when someone shifted it, it immediately stated buzzing. Everyone promptly dived for cover. I seem to remember that when we got it back to Manston and opened it up, it was full of looked like a soggy flour substance with a buzzer activated by a tilt switch. Somewhere in the depths of boxes, I probably have a slide taken of it. If this of interest, PM me with your address and I will send it on if I can find it.
I remember Wg. Cdr "Bernie" Wills and that he had lost his flying category because of a medical problem, hence his tour at Manston.
