Two small points - last year stopped at a small airfield in western France to look at an airworthy Flamant kept there. French guy spoke to me asking if he could be of assistance. Then went on to ask if I had been in the RAF and did I by any chance know his former Father in Law, Geoff Dhenin - was a bit surprised that I had known him , when he was at RAFH Ely in the 70s.
Other point was, there was a gp capt medic as SMO at Cranwell in the early to mid 60s who was also a pilot, but cannot remember his name. Strangely met his mother once- she was working at Robert Sayle (John Lewis) in Cambridge.
