Thanks Eric!

Some days, even weeks go past and no one comes through yet yesterday, I had a Mark Niman contact me he ditched in the sea twice and baled out on a third occasion! I was in contact with a Patrick Lawrence that was on 205/209 squadron Seletar at the same time as me, I had a John Hill RAF Police who was at St Mawgan with me at the same time! Plus three phone calls after my appeal for SASF Kat bods on Channel 4 Teletext Page 152 and one of those was Bill Upton SASF Rigger 1958/59, another was Bill Vaughan Stores 1955-57, and finally a chap from Koggala in 1942.
