Subject: RAF Phantom Pilot Chris Ferris

I am trying to confirm details of an RAF pilot who was a member of my aircraft apprentice entry (the 100th) at RAF Locking. Chris Ferris is believed to have died flying a phantom of 111 Sqdn from RAF Leuchars; not sure exactly when, but thought to be the mid 70's. He went missing over the North Sea. There were 3 Phantom crashes from 111 Sqdn at Leuchars in the 70's and we have found the names of the crew for two of them. But we cannot find crew names for the third...
XV403 (FGR2) 111 Sqdn, 04-08-78 North Sea off Aberdeen.

Can anyone help to confirm the crew names?

Thanks,
TONY LINDON

Tony, the crew of XV403 were:

Capt Josh Tallentyre, USMC, Pilot
Flt Lt Christopher Charles Ferris, RAF, Nav.

Details taken from 'Lost To Service' by Colin Cummings. Hope that helps.
