My father, who had gone on from Bomber Command Halifaxes in Yorkshire to DC3s in Burma in the last couple of years, was involved in the initial repatriation of the POWs to the UK. They were all appalled. I understand the POWs were mainly airlifted home.

His Burma Star somehow disappeared in the family many years ago. Seeing one on the TV this morning recollected it. Is there any central record of them by which I could get just an image. Were they serial numbered ?

Anyone know the route of the Red Arrows here in London this afternoon ? Alas, it's not CAVOK for the first time in weeks, overcast 700ft.
