Dambusters
I sadly did not know Mr. Humphries; however as an example of his type which will surprise no-one here, there was an engineer at Dunsfold, Ray Grayston ( still with us I very much hope ).
I first met Ray when trailing around the golf course at Dunsfold as a boy - both he and my dad were keen golfers.
I had the honour of being hit ( hard ) by Ray's club when I blundered into his swing, which may explain a lot about me !
I then worked at the same place for 14 years with him; it was only after I left that I discovered he was a Flt Engineer on the Dams raid ( also a member of the Caterpillar Club from a later sortie ) - he never mentioned it.
The only thing I will ever have in common with people of such calibre is we both managed to crash MGBGT's within a few miles of each other !
Thankyou, and condolences to family & friends.
