Thanks my friend, it's been a long time since I visited Middle Wallop; it was all Scouts, Lynxes and Alouettes back then!.

11 years spent researching the old man did Indeed lead to me joining the GPR Association; Mike Peters is the editor of 'The Eagle' now. I would certainly remember it if your artwork had been featured; seems strange that it hasn't because the journal's staff are always requesting content. I would give Mike Peters a nudge on that one, I'm sure the readers would like to see it 

I know of Matt Yates and Chalk, not corresponded with him at any time though.

Sounds great, get an interesting job and your half way there to total job satisfaction; get the pay right and you've made it all the way

Any reason why Middle Wallop is unsuitable for the Wildcats?

How do mate, good to hear from you. When you say you work with the AAC, does that mean you're attached to them but from another Unit, R.E.M.E perhaps?. Wow!, lucky retired Major is all I can say, I could actually recognise the exact pattern of wartime Army Flying Badge on that plaque, that's how well it was painted. Got to agree with you, those glider pilots were a true elite and very deserving of our respect. I've been researching the regiment (and my Dad's service with it) for over 11 years now.
