Wow. My uncle was squadron leader on these in the war, so I 'm very happy to see one flying again.

Sad ending, as they both outlived their 2 children who died of MS and cancer. I will get in touch to see if there's any info on his service life. His wife Joyce was my dad's sister. He told me a few snippets of his life. He went on to become the CO of RAF Northolt, and then used to get called away for 3 months at a time during the cold war. He was on the other end of the phone to Maggie when needed to press the big red button apparently. That's pretty much all I have.
