Hi Brian,

I have read about this claim but I have never seen the names of the crew. Do you know if this claim is officially confirmed by the RAF?

You have written about Commonwealth pilots involved in the Israeli Independence War, Korean War and Suez War. Any plans for a book about the air operations during the Malayan Emergency and Confrontation? Not much air-to-air action but besides the RAF involving both RAAF and RNZAF.

Cheers
Peter
