Subscriber Frank Healy sent in the following 'Whatever Happened To' request: I am searching for information regarding Sergeant Norman Welles. I was at RAF Abingdon in Berkshire in 1967 soon to be returned to 'Civvie Street' (civilian life). Logic said go to a large British city that had an airport. In the crew room one day, chitchat turned the subject of Sergeant Welles, someone said that he was headed to Canada after writing a letter to Canadian Pacific Air Lines about a job, location was Vancouver. We rushed to the large crew room map on the wall to find Vancouver. "It’s on the other side of the Continent, it’s right beside the Pacific Ocean!"“ The seed has now been planted in my brain so I also applied to immigration, was accepted, and headed to Vancouver, Canada in June. Within days of arriving I got a job with Air Canada, incredible luck. Now, I must find Sergeant Welles. I checked with CPAL and all others at the old YVR, no luck. I phoned every Welles name in the Vancouver phone book, still no luck, every so often I would search again but never did find him. Whatever happened to Sergeant Welles? In a sense he got me to Canada all those years ago. His name is very similar name to a small Mining Town in central British Columbia, a heck of a coincidence. Editors' Note: We did a Google search but found no conclusive results. Any chance that anyone remembers working with a 'Norman Welles'. |
