I am sorry to read this as John’s son Paul is married to a relative of my partner Clare. I was privileged to accompany John in a family group to East Kirby on the occasion when John renewed his acquaintance with a Lancaster. The Log book John took to show the Panton’s was incredible to read, especially the Red entries. John had a remarkable aviation career.

Blue Skies.

John
