dark light

who can help me locate Dave Bagshaw?

Hello Friends,

I would really like to get some information about Sqn LDR David BAGSHAW, oldest Jaguar pilot during gulf war in 1991 with “pink spitfire”, even more if someone can tell him I am trying to get in touch with him , your help would be much appreciated

I am a flight helmet collector and I may have found one of his helmet he wore

thanks

Alex

When I knew him he was flying for TFC at Dx…So they may still have contact details.

I’m fairly sure Baggers is the chap in this vid at the 0.15 mark:

He did my first hour of conversion to type at Swanton Morley. Regrettably never completed.

Good old ‘Baggers’? Didn’t he serve on II (ac) in the early ’80’s?

Try speaking to Gerry Honey, CFI at Old Buckenham (01953 860806). He may well be able to point you in the right direction.
