Thank you Avion for your very helpful posting. Luckily I only have 10 Tiger Moths to trace. The other aircraft might possibly be easier, for a start most of them are bigger and I will be more experienced!
Ahh Maggie! But for you all those types would have not have had their moment of glory – oh apart from the Middle East so thank you George and – Oh senior moment I have forgotten his name.
Thank you for that information. Now, I think my father intended to make a tyre pump with it. Do I – or shall I mount it on a block of mahogany and give it to my wife? Rhetorical question.
I think also that ‘AJKX, ALEJ, AKOD, ALET, AJEX, AKNV were up at Squires Gate doing pleasure flying September ’49. Maybe Aerovan ‘AIIG as well. ‘From my Father’s logbook’
Just a small addition – going through my Father’s logbook I see he did 18 hours of formation flying in SNV1s at Pensacola 1/42 and that was all the formation flying training that he did. Not really enough to prepare you for night formation flying over Essen on Oct 23 in Lancaster PD279!
Sorry for the delay in replying – only just joined! My Father, the late Capt G D Rayment lost number 4 on 19/7/53 on a Luqa to Stanstead flight in Skyways York ‘HFE, but I see he finished the flight to Stanstead OK, so I am sorry it’s probably not your flight!
