This pilot may have been a test or ferry pilot at Castle Bromwich in 1943-1944. Does anyone have details of RAF pilots with Supermarine during this period.

Re: John B Shepherd
I don't have it to hand, maybe Alex Henshaws book Sigh for a Merlin may make reference ?

Re: John B Shepherd
Keith,

Alex Henshaw was a chief pilot. A Czech F/L Vaclav Jicha DFC, Norwegian F/L Olaf Ulstad, F/L Jim Rosser and American 1/Lt Orrin Snell were in his team in 1943-44 period.

Regards,
Michal

Re: John B Shepherd
Cheers, boys!

Looks as if I have to start again. Finding Shepherd's non-operational details isn't easy. I think he was testing or ferrying Spitfires in this period but if it wasn't Castle Bromwich then where?
