Apologies to anyone i may have upset by removing my thread regarding the above.Bieng slightly over 70 odd years old i am unsure how the forum works (As it has taken me years to try and get around the computer),and didnt want to clog it up with something that wasnt of interest.

Apologies for my bad manners and i will bow out gracefully.

Alan.

Hello Paul,and thank you for that.It was my original post which i took down a couple of days ago regarding the badge i had been given which was inscribed Irving.I was trying to find out more information regarding the named pilot and his career,or the reason of his bail out.The name is S/P L THOROGOOD.
I removed the thread as i only had Moggy reply.

Many Thanks Alan.
