AN RAF veteran from Newcastle has appealed for information to help him trace a former colleague from Cumnock.

John Vasey, also known as Geordie Vasey, wants to contact his friend John Sloan who he served in the RAF with between 1959 and 1962.

The pair were stationed at RAF Stafford before also serving together at RAF Brüggen in the former West Germany.

John said: “I would like to receive any information of a fellow veteran of the Royal Air Force who served with me from 1959-62. John Sloan, from the Cumnock area, will now be aged 77.”
