Now here's a funny thing - my father (sadly here no more) also flew Halifaxes in Palestine. I'm trying to get hold of his flying records to see exactly where he was and when. Also as mentioned on another thread, my late Dad spent some time in the National Library of Scotland (during the 80's after the thirty year rule expired) trying to discover why he survived and colleagues flying the earlier Halifax did not. It was down to the original vertical stab(s) configuration which was just scaled up from traditional HP design at the time - and faulty when the counterbalance jammed the rudders. But after many accidents modified amidst much security. Hence I am here
