I just found out that Bill Lindsay AFM died at the weekend. He and his wife were a friends of my mum and dads,they were on the same Lincoln Sqn at Lindholme. We used to go to their house as kids.Later he was a Flt Eng for BOAC on VC-10's. Because of the secrecy of the RB45 missions not even my dad knew about it until the C4 programme in the 90's. He was amazed it was on TV but said he still couldn't talk about it. My dad thought his AFM was for the B-29 crash at Marham (I think) where he was the only survivor still sat in his Flt Eng rear facing seat on the runway with wreckage all round him.It was probably for the RB45 missions.
Back to his BOAC days he was featured on a BOAC tv ad i968 ish sat at the flt eng panel.That vid is on youtube link....
