Isn’t it amazing? Through this thread I have go back in touch with an old friend from ATC days (Lincoln 7). We even shared a flight in a Lincoln to drop a couple of 1000 pounders on the Helgoland range in 1955! Now to find F/L J B Stephens!

I think you saw my post about trying to find “Stevie”.http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=62312&page=2 (post 38) and I replied to you on that thread yesterday.
A bit about me and 115 Sqd ATC:http://sites.google.com/site/lgarey/115sqdairtrainingcorps
I never flew in RE348, but it was with 7 Sqd at Upwood in the 1950s. Maybe we know each other. PM me if you prefer.
According to airliners.net in April 2006 it was the “new monument”.http://www.airliners.net/photo/Italy…8SE/1040591/L/
Lincoln 7: Yes it was 115. Were you in it too?
Sorry to hear that. As a Peterborough lad, those buildings were familiar to me. And the book was an excellent read. Plane to Plane by Martyn Chorlton.
This is all very interesting! I have written to the archives dept of L’Equipe to ask if they have any details. I shall let you know if they respond.
But the 14th stage would not have been on 26 June. It would have been a couple of weeks later.
Thanks Bager and Dave. Looks like that is the one!
Thanks Darrell. Yes the canopy(ies) look more Cornell-like. But what about the seemingly radial cowling alongside?
And a Harvard in picture 3, with some spare canopies it seems.
Isn’t that an Ercoupe in the eighth picture down, with the red markings?
That is a different kettle of aquadromes!
Billing was one of our favourites places in the 1950s, but I never saw any aviation activity.
