Aviation Memories
Starting 2021 with another dip into the archives :)
This was quite an expensive purchase back in 1982!
I can't remember the exact price now, but it was something of an investment - and an invaluable resource to check up all those military aircraft that I logged on my travels. I bought this specially for my 1982 Scandinavian Aviation Tour!
I'm particularly pleased with the double page on Finland (the next upload), where I recorded some rare Soviets including a single Mikoyan Mig-21 :)

Photo & details: 41 Sqn Unit History Oct 1961, Appendix D
"From the 27th of October to the 1st of November (inclusive) 41 Squadron flew 102 hours and 15 minutes on SAR duties. This is the first time in over two years that the Freighters have been called out.
On the night of the 26th a Canberra from 75 Sqn, Tengah, was reported missing on a navigation exercise to Butterworth. Next day the Search and Rescue Organisation swung into action. The first day brought no reports from the Straits of Malacca where the Freighters were searching but just North of Kuala Lumpur two promising Sarah signals were received. Next day the Freighters were allocated an area much further South with the assurance that it was a 100 to 1 chance that they would find anything there. The 100 to 1 chance came up. At 1134 local time Fg Off Jenks spotted what he thought was a parachute in a jungle tree-top.
Further investigation proved this to be correct, but undergrowth prevented observation of any other details. The navigator, F/O Walker, then set about getting a more accurate position than the DR one. This was no mean feet as to leave the area meant to lose the sighting, K.L. DME was unserviceable, the countryside was devoid of pinpoints and the aircraft was the only Freighter searching with no API. The radio compasses were not giving indications, but after about a dozen lines off two beacons F/O Walker passed his new estimate which was subsequently proved to be only 3 miles out.
Meanwhile Sgt Sig May had despatched a preliminary report to the Rescue Centre in Singapore. An Army Auster was sent in and his report confirmed the sighting and added that there was no one in the harness. About 5 minutes before the Prudent Limit of Endurance and after orbiting the position for 6 hours and 44 minutes, the Freighter was forced to leave due to shower activity and a refuelling stop was made at KL. Unfortunately, for the crew and observers anyway, the aircraft went unserviceable and was forced to overnight. For the greater part of the vigil F/O Stewart was orbiting at 11,000 ft and his signaller, Sgt Amodeo acted as a VHF relay station.
Next morning F/L Barnett picked up F/Os Jenks and Walker and at first light they were over Gemas, about 15 miles South of the sighting area. For almost 3 hours eight-eighths cloud at treetop level precluded all search operations and then as it began to lift the Freighter went in again. After another 3 hours the parachute was re-located and helicopters were sent in and all of the Jungle Rescue Team were in by late afternoon. The Canberra pilot, F/L Peter Bevan, whose parachute it proved to be, walked out and was assisted by some Chinese wood choppers who took him to the local authorities.
From the time of first sighting, until F/L Bevan was found, the Freighters were engaged in three tasks; maintaining a watch over the parachute; relaying radio messages between search aircraft and the Rescue team and participating in an intensified search of the surrounding area. On the 1st of November an Auster sighted the Canberra wreckage and when the Rescue team arrived on the scene they found the body of the navigator 50 yards away.
The navigator was F/O David Finn and both he and F/L Bevan were well known to many 41 Squadron personnel."
John Scrimshaw (75 Sqn) comments 10 Apr 2020:
"With all of your recent research into Pete Bevan's accident I decided to have a look at my logbook. I found that 2 days before the accident I had flown 915 and made a brief landing at Kuala Lumpur. Bruce Tunley was navigator and Doug Allison was a passenger. I have no recall of that flight. I have recorded my activities in the search for Dave. On 29 Oct I went from Seletar to Malacca in a Beverley and searched for 3 hours in a Pioneer. Returned that night and the 31st went back to Malacca and spent 4 hours in a Pioneer searching. I guess that must have been the day the wreckage was found and it was confirmed Dave had not made it."
_______________
10 Apr 2020. W/C John Scrimshaw MBE AFC (retired) recounts the story of the loss of RNZAF 75 Sqn Canberra WF915 on the night of 26 Oct 1961.
The RNZAF had firstly No 14 Sqn flying Venom FB1 Fighter Ground Attack aircraft and then No 75 Sqn flying Canberra B2 aircraft based at Tengah. Wing Commander John Scrimshaw was fortunate enough to have 3 tours at Tengah as well as the deployment of No 14 Sqn flying Canberra B12 aircraft during confrontation. He recounts the events after the loss of Canberra WF915.
"On the 26 Oct 1961 the Squadron had three Canberras scheduled for night flying. I, with Bruce Tunley, was to fly to Kuala Lumpur, make a practice approach, and then return to Singapore and carry out approaches. The flight was to last 3 hours. The other two Canberras, piloted by Pete Granville Bevan and Gavin Trethewey, were to fly to Buttterworth, make an approach, and then return to Tengah. They too were required to complete 3 hours.
The weather was fine in Singapore, but there was visible lightning to the North. I decided to climb out to the west of Singapore and to set heading for Kuala Lumpur from overhead Tengah at 40,000 feet. Both Pete and Gavin made the same decision. I actually saw Pete’s aircraft on my climb out. The reason we all decided to climb out to the West, was to give us a chance of being above the thunderstorms that were obviously on our route.
Thunderstorms were a very real problem for us. In the tropics they were very violent and often were still bubbling upwards at well above 40,000 feet. We were frequently in cirrus cloud with the developing thunderstorms not visible, although at night you could see the lightning flashes. There was no radar guidance to avoid these storms and we had no on board radar, so we just flew into whatever was on our track. Once in the storm, you just had to try and keep the wings level and ride it out. You could not afford to put more power on, as this could lead to the engines flaming out. One night an RAF pilot had both of his engines flame out in a thunderstorm over Malaya, but he did get them going again after he had glided down to below 20,000 feet.
Bruce and I had quite recently been in a very violent thunderstorm. It was night, and a flash of lightning revealed the bubbling tops of the cumulonimbus clouds. I told Bruce I thought we were above them. The next thing, pandemonium, we were in the thunderstorm. It was violently turbulent. Bruce’s Navigation bag was flown into the air and contents were spread everywhere. The Mach number was indicating from beyond the speed of sound to nothing at all as the pressure rapidly changed. There was lightning, and I put on the lightning lights that floodlighted the cockpit and stopped you being blinded. St Elmo's fire was arcing in the cockpit. The noise was very loud as we flew through either heavy rain or hail. One engine flamed out, so I was forced to descend further into the storm. I told Bruce I still had control, but in reality I was just struggling to keep the wings level.
Although it did not happen on this occasion, our aircraft was twice struck by lightning in thunderstorms. On one, I was hit on the bone dome, and had a small burn mark there. It was like getting a small tap with a hammer. On another, which happened north of Darwin, a tip tank was holed and we lost all the fuel in that tank. Often aerials were snapped off and the leading edge of the wings and tail stripped clean with the hail.
All of us were thus very wary of thunderstorms. On this night, as we approached the thunderstorm, it was very bright with lightning and I could see the bubbling clouds stretching well above us. I decided that I could do approaches at Kuala Lumpur on another day, turned back to Singapore and carried out approaches at all the airfields there to fill in the required 3 hours. Gavin and Pete decided to go on. Soon they were being called up on the radio, as neither had checked in as normal at the 100 miles out point. Gavin had been struck by lightning in the thunderstorm and lost his radio. He eventually arrived back at Tengah safe and sound. But there was no response from Pete.
By the time I landed, a full search and rescue was underway. The Wing Commander Flying told me that an RAF Shackleton had seen some sort of signal out to sea and they were investigating that. I suggested they look 100 miles out, where the thunderstorm had been.
A major search was underway. It was decided to photograph the route from Tengah to Butterworth. A Photo Reconnaissance Canberra from 81 Squadron RAF, completed this task. A parachute was found in the photographs. It was in the jungle, and about where the thunderstorm had been the night before. After the parachute was seen on the Canberra pictures, it was located by an RNZAF Bristol Freighter and a helicopter was sent in to try and make a rescue. They advised that the chute was a long way off the ground, it was empty, and there was no one on the ground.
Some days later, Pete was brought out of the jungle by some aboriginals he had come across. He was flown to Changi hospital with an injury to his lower back and wrist, plus cuts and shock. It was several days before the aircraft itself was found, and Dave had not got out. I was given the task of going over to Changi Hospital and telling Pete that Dave had not made it. Not pleasant.
Pete told me his story.
He hit the thunderstorm which he said was very violent. The aircraft became out of control and descending very rapidly. It is possible that the aircraft may have been damaged in the storm, but that was not established by the investigation. The aircraft finished up in very heavy primary jungle and was not worth the effort of recovering. Pete told me he could not raise Dave on the intercom, and when he saw the 10,000-foot marker flash past on the altimeter, he decided to eject. He jettisoned the canopy and ejected into the thunderstorm. (It was thought his lower back injury could have happened as he ejected.)
The next thing, he was suspended in his parachute, obviously caught up in the jungle. To get an idea of how far above the ground he was, he broke off a twig and dropped it. He did not hear it hit, and correctly assumed he was well above the ground. The straps of his parachute were biting into him and hurting. He remembered that he had a razor blade in his Mae West, so he decided to cut one of the straps to relieve the pressure. This caused him to fall out of the harness, and it was only a matter of time before he could no longer hold on and he fell a very long way to the jungle floor. He was unconscious for a while, and when he came too, there was sufficient light for him to see his Mae West caught in a tree well above his reach. In the Mae West was his survival Radio, a Sarah. He took the distress flares from his survival equipment to be ready for a search aircraft. When one did actually fly over, he fired off a two star red distress flare, only to see it hit the jungle canopy and fall back. Useless. He was now in an extremely difficult situation, with no radio and no means of identifying his position to passing aircraft. He therefore decided to try and walk out. He carried his survival gear for a short while, but with his injuries this became too difficult so he abandoned the gear. It was a few days before he fortuitously came across the aboriginals.
Sadly, Pete had severe heart problems and eventually died of a heart attack, 19 Jul 1987 at the young age of 52."
19 Apr 2020, Gavin Trethewey also comments on the crash:
"I was involved in some way with the loss of Canberra WF915 in Malaya and later as the section leader when NZ6104 flew in to the water at China Rock weapons range. I well remember the night that WF915 went down. I had a hammering including a lightning strike on my aircraft in a thunderstorm as I recall about 90 miles out of Singapore. Pete Bevan and I were about 5 minutes apart on the same route. I passed this information on when I got back to Tengah and so the search was directed to that area."

Apparently David Finn was initially buried at the crash site. His body was later exhumed and buried at Kranji Military Cemetery, Singapore, Plot 14, Row B, Grave 3. During the repatriation project the team contacted a family member and received instructions not to repatriate his body to New Zealand.
From "For Your Tomorrow", Vol Two by Errol Martyn:
Thu 26 Oct 1961
FAR EAST AIR FORCE
Night navigation exercise from Tengah to Butterworth, Malaya, and return.
75 Squadron, RNZAF (Tengah, Singapore - 224 Group, RAF)
English Electric Canberra B.2 WF915 - took off shortly after 1900 piloted by Flt Lt P G Bevan, at 40,000 feet unexpectedly flew into the violent turbulence of a cumulous-nimbus cloud, struck by lightning and fell out of control. At 27,000 feet Bevan ordered his navigator to bale out, himself ejecting at 8000 feet after partially regaining control only to lose it again. Concussed during the ejection, he descended unconscious into a tree, injuring himself on falling to the ground when a branch broke as he climbed down after coming to. He was, however, able to walk west until striking a jungle track, where he was found wandering by a Chinese woodcutter on the 30th. Bad weather had meanwhile hampered searchers looking for the missing bomber. Over 20 aircraft of the RNZAF and three other air forces, and ground parties were involved. They finally located WF915 on the 31st some 6 miles from where Bevan had ejected, near Bahau, in the Palong Forest Reserve (at position 02°45’29.9”N:102°37’50.2”E). The dead navigator lay 50 yards away, still strapped into his seat, and was buried near the scene. He was later reinterred in the Ulu Pandan Cemetery at Singapore, but because of redevelopment of the cemetery area in the mid-1970s his remains were exhumed and transferred to the CWGC cemetery at Kranji. (Note: WF915 was an RAF Canberra on hire to the RNZAF.)
Navigator: 77296 F/O David Lloyd Finn, RNZAF - age 24.

Article by W/C John Scrimshaw (retired).
When I was in the Navy, record books like these were all over the place. Many times, a log would get started (equipment maintenance, visitors, coffee mess, etc.) but only two or three pages would be used before it was forgotten. Then, after a few years, it would be thrown out. That's where I would get involved. I accumulated many of these discarded record books over the years. What you see here is how some were recycled for my eBay record-keeping. The first page shows my first sale ($17.00 for a book I paid 45 cents for) in November of 1998. I quit/paused the eBay hobby after fifteen years. But I have more recycled record books if I get started again!
We're Here! looking at how we Recycle, Reuse, Repurpose, Rejoice!

Highlights from the log books
It looks like I was trying out my multi-coloured (four-colour) ball-point pen on this sheet :)
Not a comprehensive report of the airshow, but a list of aircraft present from three main players, and a lesser fourth player:
- United States Air Force with 18 aircraft
- United States Navy with 8 aircraft
- West German Air Force / Army / Marine with 21 aircraft
- Royal Netherlands Air Force / Navy with 4 aircraft
I doubt if any of those 51 aircraft are still flying?

By 1988, the problem with graffiti on the insides and outsides of buses and trains was getting to be a national problem on public transport; British Railways, the London Underground and bus operators in major cities and towns took the brunt of the American born craze. This is reflected in my notes. I certainly recall instances such as the one dated 01/2/1988, when on a journey from Wolverhampton to Dudley, a group of teenagers sprayed and wrote over the upper saloon of the bus, including most of the windows, the empty seats and the entire ceiling from front to back while normal fare paying passengers just sat there and watched, including grown men. I radioed for assistance and took the bus off route to a local police station, but the culprits jumped out of the emergency exit to escape while the bus was still in motion. I recall seeing one of them in my offiside mirror hit the ground quite hard and roll over a few times in the road before getting up and hobbling off. Not one passenger aboard that bus said anything to the youths to deter them, nor would any of them give a statement to the Police once we were outside the Police station!
to my great amazement and happiness, i've managed to consistently log the activities that i want to track for the first 30 days of the year.
i still can't believe that i've been able to sustain such large changes for myself over the last month. in the past, it's been rare that i stay focused on changing my habits for more than a few days.
i did really well on taking care of myself – and have felt so much better as a result. i've also been good at spending time with my family and friends, and not doing too much or too little work. these are the things that sustain me and i typically do a really bad job in each of these areas.
i didn't do so well at business development and generating billable hours, making art, crafting, or doing the hard tasks. we'll see how i can do for february. :)
Flat stillness
I like this photo - I like the faint line of clouds over the land and the stillness of the water. I do not like the round lens flare right in the middle of the photo :) ---

The definite article "the" is part of the weird ham radio ergot that's kind of funny. "The Shack," "The XYL" (wife), "The Rig..." It all brings the terminology into a sort of detached space--far less intimate than my wife, my rig, my shack, my antenna. Oddly, that seems too un-radio or something.
This is my logbook, the first pages from my first ever QSOs (radio conversations) in 1994. I was living in Olympia, WA and had gotten a my first radio, a Kenwood TS-130, and had put a pretty impressive dipole up on the roof. I suppose I have a photo somewhere, but this was all pre-scanner, so it's in an attic in Saint Paul with millions of other photos.
My morse code was SUPER SLOW, which means it was about 5 WPM. That's the word P-A-R-I-S five times in a minute. "Paris" is a word chosen because it contains the average amount of dits, dahs, and spaces of what's the average word, I guess.

with my logbook, i'm testing tracking key things that i want to do each day – walk, floss, bizdev, etc.
i've chosen four letter words for row labels to help remind me what i'm tracking.
* BODY, where i track if i've eaten better, flossed, slept for eight hour, done pushups and gotten in a good walk.
* CASH, where i track if i've done business development.
* HOME, where i track if i've done housework or other things for the household
* LOVE, where i track if i've written my family and taken care of/spent time with the people i love.
* SOUL, where i track if i've blogged, crafted and written.
* FROG, where i track if i've worked on the tasks i've been putting off.
* PLAN, where i track if i've planned my day and coordinated my work with my teams.
* WORK, where i track if i've done real productive work.
the bits of white ink at the top are from when i wasn't entirely sure what i wanted to track.
like the rest of my new projects, it's imperfect and i'm living with it just fine. :)
Aviation Memories
Starting 2021 with another dip into the archives :)
This was quite an expensive purchase back in 1980!
I can't remember the exact price now, but it was something of an investment - and an invaluable resource to check up all those military aircraft that I logged on my travels.

'Aircraft spotting or plane spotting is a hobby of tracking the movement of aircraft, which is often accomplished by photography. Besides monitoring aircraft, aircraft spotting enthusiasts (who are usually called plane spotters) also record information regarding airports, air traffic control communications and airline routes.'

This is one of many ERF lorries seen in James Reekie's yard in Fife after the staff there kindly allowed myself and @Fraser Hill in to take photographs, which we really appreciate. It's quite possibly the largest collection of ERFs in Scotland, including this 1995 EC10 model which previously belonged to Oliver Transport Services of Coleraine, Northern Ireland. The V5C logbook last changed in 2021 which is presumably when James Reekie purchased the vehicle, and it's currently marked as SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification).
*I have decided not to 'geotag' this photo or reveal the location where it was taken, as the large collection contains many rare and sought-after vehicles and parts, and doesn't need people poking around.

Aviation Memories - continuing 2021 with another dip into the archives :)
Here is one of my notebooks from 1976, showing one of one of my earliest visits to London Heathrow as a fledgling plane-spotter. It seems to be from Sat. 17th July 1976, and includes a sighting of 7T-VAE Air Algeria Caravelle - and until seeing this old log book I was under the impression that I had never seen one, as they were largely replaced by the 737s by then :)
I was 14 years of age, and I was looking to expand my portfolio of hobbies! I had already been indoctrinated into the world of bus spotting and train spotting by my older brother, but he never had an interest in aviation. It was my school mates at senior school who encouraged me to visit Heathrow - a mere 4 miles from where I lived in Southall! I was quickly hooked, and the interest never really went away, although it waned by the early 1990s when all the best aircraft had disappeared :(
Even though I only started visiting LHR in May 1976, there are already quite a number of 'non-cops' marked, these being mainly Heathrow regulars.
Highlights from the log book
7T-VAE Caravelle Air Algerie
F-BNKH Caravelle Air Inter
LV-JGP Boeing 707 Aerolineas Argentinas
A40-VC VC-10 Gulf Air
N692WA Boeing 727 Air Malta

Aviation Memories Another random dive into my archive of old aviation log books :)
This page highlights some of the most interesting aircraft that I copped at London Heathrow during my very first year of plane-spotting in 1976.
Highlights from the log books include:
My first ever 'official' visit to LHR on Sat. 12th June with SAA 747SP ZS-SPA as a worthwhile cop. SPs weren't very common in those days, just Iran Air and SAA. So good I went back the next day and 'potted' 51 new aircraft :)
It seems from my notes that I had some 'trial' 'probationary' visits in May 1976 :)
Six 'big' Alitalias seen that summer, but two were repeat visits!
I-DEMB, O & U Boeing 747s
I-DYNE DC-10
My first recorded visit to London Gatwick on Mon. 23rd August
and then a mighty roll-call of star visitors:
D-ABOD Lufthansa Boeing 707-430 - one of the early Conway beasts!
HZ-ACB Saudia Boeing 720 - they only had a couple and both were sold in 1979
7T-VAE Air Algerie Caravelle - the only one I saw as they had almost disappeared even by 1976
JY-ADS Alia Jordanian Boeing 720 - they also only operated two of these, and ADS was sold in Oct 1976!
HA-YSB Hungarian Govt Tu-134A - a rarity! became HA-LBO with Male in 1981
THE BIG ONE! - CU-T1210 Cubana DC-8 - which had dropped in for an engine change with Air Canada :))
60146 USAF C-141 Starlifter - by no means a common sight at Heathrow
DM-SCW Interflug Tu-134A - a rare East German visitor
67948 USAF C-141 Starlifter - another one!
N104AK L.100 Alaska International Hercules - that was a beauty!
YA-FAU Ariana Boeing 727 - a change from the booked Boeing 720 YA-HBA
TC-JBL THY DC-9 - much less common than the 727s
N784FT Flying Tigers DC-8S - my first :)

Aviation Memories
Continuing Year 2020 with a dip into the written archives :) So I wasn't just into logging aircraft registrations. Sometimes my imagination got the better of me, and my artistic side came out - still on the theme of aviation here though :)
Mixing 'business with pleasure' - I don't think the Voltmeter held much interest for me, so I started resigning the DC-9 into the MD-80 - I was obviously way ahead of my time :)
Another page from one of my school note books - what a useful way of utilising what we called our 'Rough Books' - I was an early adopter of Recycling :)

ENGLISH: We propose our photo collection on our many trips to different cities of the Mekong, unforgettable walks along the river banks on small well appointed roads, flowers and fruits everywhere, pretty houses, friendly people, "Looks the earthly paradise. "Do not forget the stilt houses: They are disappearing: Photograph them.
A cruise in the Mekong is an exciting time. We meet constantly any size new colorful boats. Old engines backfiring, careless drivers who maneuver the rudder with their feet. Families smiling . And this immense silty surface water that stretches out of sight.

Une croisière sur le Mékong est un moment passionnant. Nous croisons sans cesse de nouveaux bateaux colorés de toute taille. De vieux moteurs pétaradants, des conducteurs nonchalants qui manoeuvrent le gouvernail avec leurs pieds. Des familles souriantes. Et cette immense surface d'eau limoneuse qui s'étend à perte de vue.
