In Tasmania in 1998 I met an Englishmen, Ray Rhodes, who said he was a Lancaster pilot with 617 SQN at the time of the Dam's raid. He said his nav, his best mate, was Nick, who was killed as a result of flying through heavy flak.
Was Ray telling the truth? Or did he lie to me?
Frying the smoked salmon? Hilarious. As good as the batman who polished his colonel's small change as he did not have time to do the fiddly bits on the Sam Brown and other items of uniform. (The aim was to distract his boss at the time of his getting dressed. "My God! He's polished my coins.")
