To the best of my knowledge there are three surviving members of RAF Bomber Command who were shot down and evaded successfully via the Comet Line.
One of them is Bob Frost, a Wellington rear gunner (
here's a Google translation of his Comet file).
I've just heard that Bob (born in 1923) is not that well and he has been admitted to the Ami Lodge rehabilitation home. He has lost the use of his legs and left hand. He is being assessed by the local medical services and will be moved to a permanent nursing home (yet to be chosen) in the next couple of weeks.
That said, it's reported that Bob is in his usual good spirits and quite philosophical about what lies ahead.
In the meantime, I'm sure Bob would appreciate any card or letter you might like to send. Better still if you are able to visit - the hours are from 1400 to 1900. Bob's address for the time being is:-
Ami Lodge
70 London Road
Deal, Kent
CT14 9TF
Tel 01304 239175
If you are able to drop in on Bob, I’m sure he’d be delighted to see you. He’s been a stalwart member of Comet, attending reunions etc, until very recently.
