Hello team.
Over the last few years I have met and interviewed many veterans on camera, then shared their stories online (for free).
I am interested in capturing the thoughts and memories of any surviving Mosquito pilots and wonder if anyone here may be able to point me in the direction of any or any groups that may have details of them?
I appreciate that these may not be wished to be posted on the open forums so via PM would be just as appreciated.
Best wishes, Neil

David Ogilvy lives in Bristol now. I will see what I can do.
In Amersham, I recently chatted to a Hampden pilot ( then Lancs, then BEA ) There are not many of those fellows left now.

Thanks Trumper, I’ll chase that up later today.
I have so discovered that the autbor David Ogilvy formerly of the Shuttleworth Collection was a Mosquito Pilot. Does anyone have contact details for him?

Could try messaging Peter Verney on this website he is ex Mosquito aircrew.

The one you should capture is Danny, probably the last RAF Vultee Vengance pilot left with us and a superb person to boot, if you have a hour please sit and read his and others stories.
Though I do not know if they would do it.
Be prepared for one of the most fascinating sets of tales from those that fought in the war, I did try to interest a couple of the magazines on here in them as theirs is a story that NEEDS telling before it is too late.
Read it…. YOU ALL SHOULD……. I recommend it 10000%
