Hi Brian,
I couldn't agree more, the information I've received in the last few days has been absolutely fantastic. It's given me a load of new avenues to explore and I really didn't expect the response I've received, thank you all. Dad's rear gunner Doug Curtis wrote his memoirs a few years ago, I've got a copy of them somewhere ( moved house again recently) which had some toe curling tales of dering do. I also have a book recommended by Doug, Fire By Night written by Jennie Gray about Black Thursday Dec 1943. On a different road entirely I recently read Pulling Wings From Butterflies written by Capt Mike Simkins about what really goes on inside large airlines. Eye opening !!!!!. both on Amazon..
Best regards, Matt.
