I have that one in hand Inkworm :D, writing to local rags etc,

as for chard there was Vampire VV619,that camedown in the area ,24th November 1953.
and the well known Canberra WH715 which came down 1.October.1968 , The French Pilot i believe was killed in the accident.

in fact it is quite astonishing the amount of jet losses in Somerset county .

The Royal Air Force Retired List 2002 has ;

Allardyce DC , born 12-11-43 , F/L 22-5-69 , retired 27-8-86
Statham RHG , born 2-3-36 , F/L 12-6-62 , retired 22-3-74
These could possibly be your men ?

Perhaps you could do with some help from a geneology specialist or try another forum !

Many thanks for that 🙂

i did a bit more googling after posting and i stumbled across this page, many thanks

I guess being way back in 1956 the chances of finding a photo are remote. but worth trying for ..

many thanks once again 🙂

I have not really been online much, and am shocked such a great museum had to close. I watched in awe as the trully amazing amount of genuinely interesting and unique museum pieces were amassed with great interest. and Millom saved many a airframe too.. I take my hat of to such a stirling effort.

i will see if i can pool together some money to try and save something .. and maybe move it on too another museum in the future.

so sorry to hear this has happened 🙁
