Gentlemen, does anyone know of the whereabouts of F/Lt Geoff Pitick?
I believe he did a couple of tours on Shackletons.
Was the CFI at Bristol UAS before joining UWAS.
He ended up as the recruiting officer ,for the Saudi Cessna 172 fleet QFIs, at Warton for BAE.
Many thanks in advance.

I knew Geoff at AOTS in 66/67 and through training onto Shacks. Lost track of him after he returned from Saudi. Have tried to find him several times to no avail

He might be in Tarleton, Preston.

Olddog/Imagegear, thanks for the information. We have tried to find him for a few years now, but drawn a blank. Will try looking in the Tarleton area.

It may be that you are using the wrong spelling of Pitick (See the 227 Course photo I recently posted under the "Service Numbers" thread). Geoff's surname has only one T.

Olddog - just beat me to it on speeling. Also lost track of Geoff after leaving the Shack for the rotary world.

I have changed the spelling.
Strange, I was sure it was two Ts on his name badge.
Still it was a long time ago.
Thank you.

Jeff Pitick was my student on JPs in 67/8. Last flew with him on New years day 68. Checked in my log book - thought I recognised the name.
