Coff & Nimman
That's the photo I recall! SWMBO says how come I can remember trivia from the sixties and not what happened this morning!
In #2514 I recognise a skipper, then Flt Lt Ed Carter later Sqn ldr, on the left - next to him is a nav' Ken Foster. I cycled over to Ken's house in the Gers about 6 years ago when resident in France. Next to Ken could be Sqn ldr 'Andy' Andrusikiewicz, apart from Rochford-Hughes and Merriman I'm struggling to recognise the others.
I recall being told that Rochford-Hughes had taxied a Sunderland several hundred miles across the Atlantic back to base during WW2.
Being the youngest nav' on 48 I was regularly 'joe'd' to be the nav' when the trappers came to examine the staish, Grp Capt Merriman and also when the latter demonstrated the joys of the Herc' to AOA, AVM Peter le Cheminant - all the old hairies dived out of the window when the flying programme was published!
