Many thanks Adrian 🙂

The Essex Aviation Group, I think, rings a bell with me. My mates name was Christopher Going, and although young (19-20) he seemed very clued up about matters, and I’m sure he belonged to a group of similar name. I think he either lived or went to school in Felstead Essex. Be great if someone from that group could respond one day. He had certainly done his homework as we took off from Southend airport in a Cessna (?) with another of his mates as pilot and I sat next to a window that had a little port hole in it just big enough to poke the lens of my second hand Practica camera through which enabled me to take the attached pics. We found the site at low tide almost immediately and circled and banked so I could get the pics. He was delighted with the results and I was chuffed because I had only just started out developing and printing photos as an 18 year old. I have sent the pics to East Coast Sailing which may help them in their story that they covered in April and May last year which you guy’s have kindly informed me about. I await with anticipation to further news on this and may enquire at Duxford about the EAG and it’s existance and recovery work.

If I remember correctly, and it was a long time ago, my mate who was only about 20, I was 18, needed photographic evidence to convince the R.A.F., or whoever that in fact a wreck was lying there and he wanted to recover it. I think he got his data from ARP reports (?) and weather forcast’s of the time. Thanks for you reply 🙂 I’m all excited !!
