A Spitfire Pilot - Part 35

John

Your fathers tapes are wonderful and I hope you don't mind me adding a post here to ask a question of you. Your father and my grandfather flew together on 72 Squadron in North Africa. My grandfather's name was Riversdale Robert "Barney" Barnfather and I have already written a book about his wartime life as a Spitfire pilot that was published in 2007 by the History Press.During the research for his book and by using his log book as a base I tracked down some of his former colleagues among them Tom Hughes and Rodney Scrase who also flew with him and your father in North Africa and who are both still alive. Rodney Scrase has asked me to write his story and that is due to be published again by the History Press this year. Would it be possible to include some quotes form your fathers tapes in this book ?

Regards

Gus
