Tony,
Is this S/Ldr Woodwards aircraft? I crossed this one off my list purely because of the pilot not being recovered!!!
Send me a mail when you get the time and we can talk further......we both have lots more information since I came to see you!!! Still got no further with the Tropical Typhoons since we last spoke by the way....not many of 451 squadron left and the ones that do remain seem to have left either the day before or on the actual day that they arrived!!!
