Captain Roy Elden Farmer USN Retired CO VAH-5 and VAH-3

Posted by Steven R. Ewing on April 4, 2015 at 2:43pm

Captain Farmer was CO of VAH-5 (A-3s) and Skipper of VAH-3 during the transition to the Vigilante.

There isn't much of an obit there. Can Anyone who knew Captain Farmer help fill in the blanks. Anyone have a picture?

Our illustrious Newsletter Editor will need info so there can be something for an article in the next RVAHNavy newsletter.

      Richard, I have been trying to contact you for some time. Do you live anywhere near Columbia South Carolina?

      Did you file your A.O. claim that went to the BVA in 2011? If so I believe we need to talk.

      Don Frederking 309-968-7225 or don_ddms@yahoo.com

      Thanks for taking the time, I requested to be your friend also.

      This is his son, heard back from Arlington National Cemetary in D.C. Last week and he'll be buried sometime in Oct. due to the backlog.

    And that's it!!
