The late and much missed trio of Mike Stroud, Dick Ward and Ray Sturtivant who encouraged and directed my search in the early days. Andy Thomas, Tony Buttler, Wojtek Matusiak, Mark Crame and David Mace all made significant contributions and the Jet Age Museum who came up with a photograph of the extended-wing-tip Typhoon, ending a 40-year search!
