Thanks for that Mr Coffman and for the link to the WJ582 incident. I worked with Allen Lock from 1982 in Bracknell (Met 08 Hydrology) and fondly remember him as a genuinely nice chap. His injuries from the crash were severe and I was told that it was very touch and go at the time as to whether he would survive.
A few years later, I had some fun on board Snoopy. I think that one of the regular RAF crew was a chap named Stokes. I can't recall his rank.
