206 Sqdn Nimrod long range SURVOP 20/21 May 1982
Hi
I am trying to locate crew members from 206 Squardron who took were part of the crew that flew several long range SURVOPs around this time 35 years ago. I believe the crew was commanded by Ft Lt D J Ford, and consisted of "crew 5".
I am trying to help an Argentine author who is writing about the air ops of 21st May and would like to interview crew members from this mission, if possible. I believe it flew around the islands to cover the amphibious fleet, and closed to within 120 NM of the Argentine coast, if the documents in Kew are correct.
I have also seen that Wing Commander D Emmerson had this mission mentioned in the London Gazette when awarded the AFC, but I am not 100% sure if he was part of the crew that day. The squadron logs are not clear about that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Andy
