I originally posted the following in the Where are they Now Forum, but have decided that perhaps I might achieve a response here:
Initially through one of my Websites and subsequently through email exchanges, I have been asked to assist Edward Ludlow's son Ian, in attempting to discover his father's career in the British Aircraft Industry. Edward Ludlow died at the age of 37 and all the information his sons have is based on 'oral family tradition' rather than any Documents, but according to this tradition he worked on the Blue Streak Project at Hatfield and was detached to Woomera for trials.
I am assuming he was with de Havilland Propellers, but bearing in mind the number of contractors involved I may be wrong. He was an electronics engineer and may have been involved in the integration of the Rolls RZ.2 Engines (So could have been on detachment from RR).
Any assistance appreciated
