tigger Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) Hi Guys Several years ago I built a model of this aircraft in 1/32 scale . whilst researching the pilots name below the cockpit I found out it was SQN LDR DM Lewin. Now several years later the very man has contacted me and request any photo's of his aircraft showing clearly his name as his kids don't believe he flew them. any help would be appreciated and forwarded to the very man. Thank you in advance John :) Edited January 23, 2008 by tigger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Ask and ye shall receive. I can email him the scan, was an old print photo so quality a bit off. I must have the negative somewhere. Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loinsy Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hi Guys, Found your site - what a great network you have! Yes my kids think my war stories were all in my vivid imagination so if there are any clear pics of ac with my name on the side I'd love to show them to them! 'My' ac were XV432 if I recall (FGR2) 29(F) Sqn 1982-85, XT898 228 OCU 85-88, LA 76041 (Luke AFB Arizona F-15) 1988-91, and XX266 Hawk T1A 74 Sqn when I was the squadron commander 1995-97. Guess we all take too much for granted when life's rushing past at 1500mph and I should have taken more photos at the time!!! Kind regards to you all and many thanks indeed for looking, Dave Lewins (now flying slightly less interesting jets - 757s - or at least usually less interesting - unless you ask a certain 777 pilot recently.....now surely there's going to be a good story....)

kstater94 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Welcome aboard Dave! Would certainly LOVE to hear your stories of flying Phantoms sometime! Cheers! John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loinsy Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Welcome aboard Dave!Would certainly LOVE to hear your stories of flying Phantoms sometime! Cheers! John Hey John, Were you on the F4 then? I loved the beast - a p-i-g pig (to quote Animal House) to fly sometimes but a great old machine, way ahead of its time (at the time). And the best thing after flying the F4 was a dream tour on the Eagle which had every single facet of the old Toom 'fixed' - ie every thing you ever wanted fixed had been fixed by Mickey D. Nice work. Great jets both of them! Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He worked on American Phantoms (1966 - 1968 and Air National Guard from 1979 thru 1990). Cheers! John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
