.......And now John Morton has passed on too. Copilot on the Rotodyne and another ex FAA helicopter pilot ,who pioneered small ship helo ops, first with the Fairey Ultra Light in the English Channel in the late 1950s and later with the Wasp in rolling deck trials and lead pilot on Navy Lynx at Westland. He later retired to New Zealand and passed away in early May, aged 89.

Fortuitously The Helicopter Museum recorded interviews with both Sox and John earlier this year ,discussing the highlights of their test flying.
