I am particularly excited about this issue, as being the editor of a major historic aviation magazine at the time of the 70th anniversary of the famous Dams raid offered me a great opportunity and challenge to think of commemorating this occasion with a compilation of material that I think will be different to how other publications might do similar. I just hope that I have succeeded!

The reason I joined the RAF as early as I could was because of my admiration of its great heritage in protecting this country, as reading stories just such as that of the Dam Busters while I was young soon gave me a personal passion for the Service. However, while serving I was made to realise the costs of operational flying when, during the build-up to the first Gulf War of 1991, Flt Lt Kieran Duffy and his navigator Flt Lt Norman Dent were lost from 14 Sqn. At the time I was working on that unit, and I had got to know Kieran quite well, so it was a stark and personal realisation of all the similar historic instances that I had read about when I heard the news. I wrote about this in the December 2011 issue of Aeroplane, and following my comments on that I was very surprised when Kieran’s mother contacted me to express her thanks that I had remembered her son. I was quite frankly left humbled, and it still has quite a bearing on me.

In recent years I have been privileged to have met and remain in contact with Les Munro, the last living pilot from the Dams raid, in connection with my work authoring books. Les and I have since had quite a lot of communication, and he has even sent me Christmas cards. After reading so much about Operation Chastise for all these years, I can hardly believe I have received Christmas cards from one of the aircrew involved!

Some months ago I asked Robert Owen, the official historian of the 617 Sqn Association, if he would write some articles to mark this anniversary. Rob then offered me other work from Richard Morris, author of the well-known biography of Guy Gibson, and even a letter he knew that Mary Stopes-Roe still had which she had written to her father Barnes Wallis just after Operation Chastise. I also asked artist Tim O’Brien to paint two specially commissioned oil paintings to use in this issue. So, I sincerely hope that you like what has been put together for this special issue, it has certainly been enjoyable to put it all together.

I was taken by surprise that it was General “Chuck” Yeager’s 90th birthday when author Bruno Cianci offered me the recent interview with this aviation icon to mark the occasion. Having spent years looking at photographs of Chuck in his youth as a fighter and test pilot, and having personally met him looking so sprightly only a few years back, it just goes to highlight that it doesn’t always immediately occur to you the age of such legends.

When I met Chuck Yeager I did not treat it as “work”, it was just such a privilege to spend a while chatting on a relaxed basis to someone of his status in the field which has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I have also been privileged to do similar with many others including his British counterpart, the late Neville Duke, another wartime “ace” who went on to be a pioneering and record-breaking test pilot of the early jet age. As a result of the interview with Chuck Yeager, which appears on pages 18-24 of this issue, I decided it would be appropriate to include Neville’s co-authored book Sound Barrier as the subject of our latest Flyleaves (Chuck’s autobiography Yeager appeared in Flyleaves in the December 2011 issue of Aeroplane).

Such legends of aviation are always an inspiration to talk to, and I sincerely hope you enjoy reading the interview with Chuck Yeager in this issue. By including it to coincide with his 90th birthday, I also hope that Aeroplane pays a fitting tribute to the aviation career of this great pilot, and not just on being the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound, but also at having fought in the air during the Second World War as a North American P-51 pilot with the 357th Fighter Group based at Leiston in Suffolk.

And hopefully the article on the 70th anniversary of the 78th Fighter Group’s arrival at Duxford pays tribute to all the US aircrew who flew daylight missions over occupied Europe. I’m sure that all of us who are at Duxford for the Spring Air Show will take a moment to remember the sacrifice made by so many flying from our country in the Second World War, especially those who weren’t lucky enough to continue their flying career into the jet age and live on to have a family of their own after the war.

I would recommend a visit to the American Cemetery and Memorial at Madingley in Cambridgeshire to anyone who hasn’t previously gone there. Words from an inscription on the mosaic ceiling of the Memorial building sum things up far better than I ever could: “In proud and grateful memory of those men from the United States Army Air Force, who from these friendly isles flew their final flight and met their God.

“They knew not the hour, the day, nor the manner of their passing.

“When far from home they were called to join that heroic band of airmen who had gone before.

“May they rest in peace.”

Spitfire XVI TE330 of the Historic Aircraft Flight (now RAF BBMF) takes off from Biggin Hill in 1957 with Gp Capt Peter Thompson DFC at the controls. This Spitfire, along with Hurricane LF363, participated in the Flight’s first public appearance on September 15, 1957. crown copyright

This month’s cover star and the subject of the article beginning on page 50, Supermarine Spitfire XVI TE311, is of particular importance to me. I remember first seeing the aircraft in the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’s hangar in 2000, and never thought at the time that one of the two “spares recovery” aircraft that had recently arrived would one day be flying. But, I would later discover, even more surprisingly how relevant a type a Mk XVI would be to add to the Flight’s inventory.

In 2007, my book Battle of Britain Memorial Flight – 50 Years of Flying (Pen & Sword) was published to mark the RAF BBMF’s 50th anniversary. During the course of researching that book I made a fascinating discovery. It was generally known that the RAF BBMF was formed as the Historic Aircraft Flight at Biggin Hill on July 11, 1957, established with a strength of four aircraft: Hawker Hurricane IIc LF363 and Spitfire XIXs PM631, PS853 and PS915.

However, in order to unearth the very beginning of the story I had to make contact with the family of the Flight’s founder, Gp Capt Peter Thompson DFC, and it was while being allowed generous access to documents and logbooks that I made the discovery. While the Flight had three airworthy Spitfires on strength, it turned out that as the pilots of the time were wartime fighter pilots, they did not like the thought of forming the Flight as a flying tribute to their fallen comrades with a non-armed variant of the Spitfire. Peter Thompson therefore set about acquiring three Mk XVIs that had been brought out of store for the 1957 Royal Tournament. One of those, TE330, was made airworthy in time for the Flight’s very first formal public appearance, on Battle of Britain Day, September 15, 1957.

Therefore, the RAF BBMF’s fantastic work in returning a Mk XVI   to the air is an even more relevant achievement than it at first might have appeared, as it was with that mark of Spitfire that the Flight made its very first commemorative flypast. So I hope those of you who see TE311 out and about this year will enjoy this latest “recruit” to the RAF BBMF, and appreciate its importance as an addition to the Flight.
