Yes I have seen vague references to Tuck being a test pilot post war and something possibly to do with canberras,does anybody know which company he flew for ?
And any reference books /articles for his test flying ??

Sounds like a great idea and could make a good film. The early years, the flying years in the war, then POW and escape linking up with the Russians back to Moscow, then test flying after the war and the latter years and his friendship with Galland.

Other than ‘Fly for Your Life’…has anything else been published about Tuck ?
I can live without reading copies of his log books,but would like to read more about Bob Tuck.

Been in touch with him a few times, and he seems sincere about his ambitions. But as always, the road is long and hard. I applaud him for trying and hope he will succeed.

BST was an outstanding Pilot and my personal favorite probably would have been top scoring RAF Pilot of the war if he hadnt been shot down and captured a film would be great.
