Tony Marks is just a name on a scoreboard probably taken down by Johnny Rivaz when 23 Squadron flew its last operational sortie.

That’s what Peter Smith thinks.
Tony Marks is also just a name on a picture in a family album…
Gosling family collection
Tony Marks was Ted Gosling’s pilot, and he is buzzing Little Snoring.
I would like to show you who he is on that picture, but for now Tony Marks is just a name…
For now that is… waiting for a relative to find this blog about 23 Squadron and pay homage to Tony Marks who is just a name.
Gosling family collection
Waiting for a relative, or someone who knew him, just like members of Ted Gosling’s family who are now sharing precious artefacts to pay homage to their grandather Flight Lieutenant Edwin Lawrence Gosling, Tony Marks’ navigator.
Flight Lieutenant Edwin Lawrence Gosling is not just a name on a scoreboard taken down when 23 Squadron flew its last operational sortie. The whole cyberworld knows who he is.

Ted Gosling is now much more than just a name on a scoreboard thanks to the information shared.
For now Flight Lieutenant Tony Marks remains just a name… eternally buzzing the airfield at Little Snoring on the day 23 Squadron was disbanded.
Just the name of someone who would like some help from his relatives to land his Mosquito…

Thanks Pierre. A wonderful tribute to my grandfather sat along side those of his comrades in 23. I really appreciate all the work you have done.
Best wishes

PS one small typo – his first name was Edwin rather than Edward, always shortened to Ted.
