Hello all. As a very long shot I'm wondering if there are any Gloster Javelin pilots here who might sign a book on Javelins I have. Would be absolutely thrilled if anyone can help!
Do message me if you know of anyone, thank you!

If you can get hold of a copy of Peter Caygill's "Javelin from the cockpit" published in 2011 it contains the experiences of a number of Javelin pilots who you might be able to find via their squadrons' associations....

Small pub, good ale, close to Boscombe Down may reveal the location of the last RAF pilot to fly a Javelin. Unaware of location of the back-seater.

You might like to copy your request on the ATC thread,there were quite a few ex-Javelin crew at West Drayton.Also,Brian Grant,who used to fly the Sea Vixen on the airshow circuit flew Javelins before SVs with the RN.

And don't forget 60 Sqn, who flew Javs in Singapore. 60 still exists in its rotary training guise at Shawbury, so they will have contacts with that Association.
