Flt.Lt. John Roland Toogood

Royal Air Force 254 Squadron

from:5 The Willowong, Burton Joyce

John Toogood was stationed at North Coates, St. Andrews, Glossop. He flew Beaufighters normally but also flew 27 other types of aircraft. He was shot down in the North Sea but survived to fight another day and became a member of the Gold Fish club. He once told me he felt cheated because Coastal Command didn't get the recognition it deserved. It was if they didn't do anything. He last piloted a Tiger Moth when he was 76, but flew as a passenger for another 3 years.
