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?

Apache country there, training and HQ. Who knows why one place is chosen over the other, lots of scrambled egg deciding one way or the other over personal wants and needs. Keeps the AAC wildcats, merlins etc alongside the Navy, cabbage heads and Junglies squadrons I suppose.

11 years of research on your part has to be a lot of info and insight. I expect you have a tie up with the Chalk historical group? Mike Peters and the Eagle? I did hear that he was going to get a picture of that plaque into his magazine but I don't know if he ever did. I must ask.

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.
