I am researching background stories for a series of articles (and/or book) on never before published RAF flying duties and aircraft, from 1950 to 1975.
Using the power of the internet, I would like to hear from any ex-aircrew who served on one or more of the following types (and who would be prepared to have any of these stories recorded in print) –
Boeing B-29 Washington B Mk 1
Bristol Brigand
Lockheed Neptune MR1
NA B-45 Tornado (I know, but worth a try!)
Avro York
Single and Twin Pioneers
Bristol Belvedere
DH Comet (including R1)
Hunting Pembroke
HS Andover
Short Belfast
To my knowlege, none of the above types have been covered in any form of current publication.
In addition to this list I am also interested to hear from ex-crewmwmbers who flew as AQMs in the RAF, before the award of a dedicated flying badge.
