Hi Pete,

I think it’s important to get this stuff right! 1972 was before my time – anybody have the facts?

Sorry to be pedantic, but for the sake of accuracy, I think there is an error in the ‘official’ 4 Sqn history. In the chapter ‘Cold War – Harrier 1’ (page 30) it says that Pete Taylor’s crash in XV794 (4 May 72) was the first 4 Sqn loss. I believe that we lost Chris Humphries in XW918 on 12 Jan 72. Although I recollect ‘918 was in 3 Sqn markings (it was one of four Harriers so marked (XW763, 764 and 917 were the other three) that we operated as ‘our own’ jets for some time, and anyway, Chris was a 4 Sqn pilot. Can anyone else shed any further light on this?
Regards
Pete
