I flew with Sqn Ldr Robbie Gilvary with a crew of Fg Off Bill Burgiss (Co-pilot), F/O Mike Setterfield (Nav Plot) and Flt Lt Jim Power (AEO). Rear crew did not list the other crew members for each flight so while captain and nav-team invariably flew together the co-pilot and AEO were often guests from other crews.

For the major part of my time on 44 I flew with Sqn Ldr Joe L’Estrange, the crew for the most part was Flt Lt Mike Picheal-Juan, known as Mike P J (co-pilot), Flt Lt John ? , I just can’t remember his surname (Nav Plot) and Flt Lt Tony Benstead (AEO). For the most part we did fly together but by then the V-Force was less ridgid and crews were interchangeable, so I can only guarantee the captain and myself flying on the sorties below, except for the ranger to the USA when we flew as a complete crew and the IRTs where the other pilot is mentioned.

Transit Goose Bay to Scampton (This was a very bad spell of weather in UK, so bad it was reported on American TV. Waddington was frozen in but we managed to land at Scampton. This was probably why we returned early and missed the Goose Low Level routes | 4H10 |
