I ‘ve just acquired a copy of Gp Captain John Kent’s book ‘One of the Few’ and I was delighted to see a photograph of John sitting in the cockpit of the Shuttleworth Collection Deperdussin. This led me to wonder what other former WWII pilots flew for the collection, I know that Roland Beaumont, Alan Wheeler,Jeffery Quill and David Ogilvy were others.
I can also remember seeing one of Dicky Martin’s last flights in AR501,another WWII pilot who went on to fly a Chief Test Pilot for Gloster’s.
There must be others, who can I add to this list.
