Wg Cdr Tom Neill DFC* AFC (and C d G now I believe) would be an excellent choice (given he flew about 170 sorties during it) although with advancing years I understand he is less active these days.
He also gives a great account of the Nicholson VC story (give he was his wingman at the time, although not on that actual occasion) as well as many other stories from his time on 249 sqn.
Totally enthralling.
