Reg and Cliff,
Still here indeed, and thoroughly enjoying your posts as always.
I've recently started having a close look at my great uncle's wartime logbook (he was a navigator with 467 Sqn, Waddington, KIA 10MAY44 over Lille). Discovered some interesting stuff - seems his first operational posting was to Bardney with IX Sqn but his pilot was lost as a second dickey before they got on ops themselves. So back to the HCU it was, to crew up again. I've also just got a copy of another navigator's logbook from a similar time but with much more detail... the search never ends!
Though the logs are priceless sources of information, your words 'from the horse's mouth' are even better for an understanding of what it was like to be there. Please, please, please keep it up!
