Having seen
this obituary in today's Torygraph, I've found a secondhand copy of Paddy Barthropp's autobiog (with the help of a South American river .....
) which ought to be good.
Loved the bit in the obit about his repatriation as a Kriege after VE day - nicked a Mercedes fire engine and drove from Lubeck to Brussels - including an overnight
stop in Hamburg where he and his companion enjoyed the favours of two frauleins ..... in exchange for a tin of corned beef .....
....... wonder what he's have thought of today's RAF ........
