Keith Park - Protection by Deception

[htbrst]

Hi,

I've found reference to an article in Aeroplane magazine to Keith Park that has me interested.

As part of our Hidden History series former Wellington aircrew member Dennis Cooke explains how, in August 1942, Air Vice-Marshal Keith Park helped to save a vital relief convoy to Malta - by using false radio messages

I've been looking for a copy of the magazine (December 2007) but no such luck so far, likewise i've tried googling for more information but no luck there either.

Has anyone read the article and can shed more light on the story?.. or alternatively suggest something that might help me find relevant information out there on the internet

Thanks in advance

I've read this somewhere else, maybe the Vincent Orange biography of Park? I'll have a look in the morning if no-one can come up with something more definite.

I have that issue somewhere - I'll try and dig it out in the next few days....

I could find no mention of this incident in the section of the Park biography which deals with Operation Pedestal, but I do have that issue of Aeroplane which is probably where I read of this. I'm happy to scan & email or copy & post this if required.
Steve.
