I too hope the day goes well - my limited experience of BBMF is that they are really helpful and will do what they can, existing commitments permitting. One thing intrigues me though
He holds the MM and ended up doing 36 years, so one of us bullet pushers ended up doing good
.
I'd be really interested to hear how he got the MM if you know. That's normally an army bravery award, but some RAF NCO aircrew POWs got it for successfully escaping from captivity - was that the case?
