Calling Transport Command veterans

For a forthcoming book on the history of transport flying in the RAF, I am seeking contact with anyone who would like to contribute their experiences please. I am interested in all aspects; air crew, ground crew, etc. I have very little coverage so far of the following types; Valetta, Hastings, Beverley, Comet, Britannia but as I said, anything and everything, so please get in touch.

Many thanks

Spent nine months on Hastings as second pilot (i.e. lowest form of animal life on the aeroplane) but do have a couple of colour pics of the beast at Habbaniya and Nicosia if you're interested.

I hope you will be able to include something about operations across the Pacific and in support of the Pacific fleet north of Australia in 1945.
Obviously a very interesting period and yet almost nothing has been written about it.
