Hope you get well again soon regle, and back into "action".
Just reading an interesting story of two kiwi pilots shot down in Halifaxes within minutes of each other on 12-13 June. One pilot was the only survivor, the other got out with the rest of his crew. One flew from Snaith with 51 Squadron, Charlie Chambers, on just his 3rd op with the Squadron, previously both had been on OTU Whitleys on secondment to Coastal Command. Must have been a few weeks before you arrived at 51 Squadron regle?
Apparently they were shot down by the same fighter, 22 yr old Hans-Heinz Augenstein ( Hally pilots 22 and 23 yrs old ) he got a third one from 10 Squadron on the same flight, no survivors.
He had 46 bombers to his credit when shot down and killed by a Mosquito in Dec 1944.
