MCAS El Toro California mid 19 nineties?

Relative found

An article in my local paper, The Evening Echo, dated 9th December states that the younger sister of Sgt. John Charles Burdett has been traced living in Laindon, Essex.

The paper also said another lead had been provided by a reader who said he used to work with a man called Albert Cooper whos son Norman, died in an RAF bomber, could this have been Sgt Norman Cooper? He explained that Albert, who died in the 1960’s, had remarried and had two children through his second marriage named David and Rosemary. So they are wondering if any of the Cooper family still live in South Essex. It also appears that Sgt Cooper’s final address was in Hampshire because he was staying with a relative there.

Hope this information helps in your search.

It was, although if I remember correctly (it was a long time ago) we were lucky not to lose more, considering their condition.
We had a lot of fun working on the Lanc at Hullavington that year, does anybody know what happened to the F-86 and Seafire that also went to Blackpool (by road), these were the original nucleus of the proposed museum.

I met Neil at Hullavington when he crashed the Zlin, I happened to e in the Naafi and was called out with the ambulance, fortunayely he didn’t need my services! But I was lucky enough to fly with him when John Roast took Lancaster NX611 down to Blackpool, and the memory of sitting in the rear turret whilst Neil did a high speed low level run over Lake Bala will always stay with me. He really was one of the best!
