Have just received an email from Jack Youens who was trained at 6 B.F.T.S.
Hope a copy of his email will attach here. Also, am using pic of his "mossy" to practice reducing size of pic.
Email from Jack >
"Have been a member of 6BFTS association for years. but have never managed to go on any of the annual dos'.Did you come across a Laurie Youens my younger brother ? he was anavigator in 692 Pathfinder Squadron, like me was in the Merchant navy first and also his ship the Athelaird was torpedoed and he was in a lifeboat for 10 days. We both said sod this and transfered to the RAF. What were you flying? I know there is 6 years between us. were you at Ponca City? best wishes Jack ">

Here's hoping I get some help from Jack who was a pathfinder on mosquitos.
At least his brother was floating around in a life boat and not in the "drink" in a Mae West, blowing his Acme whistle that was attached to the top clip on his battle dress blouse.
Hope to resume my trip down to Oklahoma soon
CLIFF.
