Hi Jon, Malcolm F. Damon, the pilot on the last flight of Old Black Magic, was my father. One of the stories about the crew on that final flight was that they had nicknamed Old Black Magic as „Old Flak Magnet“, a name that sadly came true. I have the handwritten notes my father wrote when he made his report about that last flight. I miss my father and would love to hear more stories about him and his crew if you have the time to get back to me. Best wishes, Sue (Damon) Jamieson
