Just thought I'd give a bit of advance warning - my late father served in Africa from Rhodesia to the Middle East and back again, and I was going through some of his old letters the other day. By a strange turn of events I came across a very good website devoted to one particular Lancaster crew; some people here may be aware of it. The upshot was that the author of the site had details of his father's wartime record which seemed to have similarities to my Dad's. After making contact, I now have sight of flying records which indicate they flew together in Rhodesia...so, armed with some details, I am now scouring attics and the records for further info which I hope to post here. So - a request - I'm trying to find names of people who passed through or worked at Thornhill, Moffat, Mount Hamilton, Norton and Guinea Fowl from around '43 - 45. Also looking for names who might have served with 462 Squadron till the end of '43 (ie in the Middle East)
Feel free to PM if you would like to.. Cheers
