After all these years and dad sadly passing away in January of this year tomorrow is f going to be a sad but exciting day.

Vince is bringing Vince senior to visit us after searching for dad for many years.

So althought these 2 veterans can sadly not meet at last, Vince senior and junior will be meeting Teds family and sharing the times that him and dad had together.

I really want to thank Key Publishing Forums as without u guys this would never have taken place..

Thanks so much

Will share all after the visit

Re the Herald registration, GA-VPN , SHE IS INDEED IN DADS LOG BOOKS.

I have only looked briefly as ther are so many Herald entries, but it looks like the first time he flew her was on April 17th 1969, Out in Rome as he was out ther training pilots on Heralds for Itavia,
