Gaining An R.A.F. Pilots Brevet In WW11
Danny, The name you asked for is Geoff Finding. We have a reunion of ex-Neptuners every year at Topcliffe in October. A Church Service and then a drumhead service in the Cemetery to remember that Neptune (and our other lost friends). Now two of the crew daughters attend, they were babies at the time of the crash and are now grandmothers!! We put up a Torridon sandstone memorial on the site of the crash in July 1998. A nephew of one of the ex Neptuners was C.O. of a St Mawgan S.A.R. 203 Sqn Sea King, flew up to the Mull and took us all up to the site. One of the 36 Sqn took Holy Orders when he left the R.A.F. and conducted the service. We even had a piper. We have a plaque in Topcliffe church and the service is well attended.
