images of 1950's/60's test pilots needed
I’m working with the RAF museum producing ‘life-size’ sketches of the early jet test pilots that flew the machines in their experimental aircraft collection at Cosford. The museum has gone through its’ records and Jimmy Dell, Beaumont and Twiss seem relatively well documented, but I’m having more trouble finding good images of Godfrey Auty and Peter ‘Sheepy’ Lamb. Can anyone help?
I am looking for good images of their faces, the specialist clothes they wore at the time, and any anecdotes that may prove useful (eg. I’m doing Jimmy Dell in a ‘strung together’ g-suit, in contrast to Beamont famously preferring his thick leather belt from his Hurricane days.)
