The
Wessex 5 in the Falklands War. |
|
Harry Benson was a pilot with 847 Squadron and
is writing a book on the Wessex 5 in the Falklands War.
Harry is looking for 845, 847 and 848 Squadron Flight Ground Crews, in
particular SMRs and other Engineers who can explain how it all worked when they
were either in San Carlos and Port San Carlos early on, or onboard the Conveyor
or the Causeway and wants’ to make sure the guys on the ground who kept them
flying can tell their story.
Harry has found a lot of pilots and aircrewmen who could not have been able to
do their thing if the guys on the ground hadn’t done theirs.
Please Contact Harry Benson on harry.benson@virgin.net or call him on 0117
