Some info on RAF Melbourne here: RAF History - Bomber Command 60th Anniversary
You may think it a good idea for some family member to take a video of the RAF Melbourne area (perhaps concentrating on the local pubs which might jog his memory more!!) ready for screening on his big day.

If you haven't yet visited or contacted Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington, it may be possible to order a CD/DVD of Halifax Operations. Yorkshire Air Museum, The Norths Leading Aviation Museum and Online Shop.

And have you persuaded him to break his silence and record his memories of his and other crew during his service? Please do try and ensure his memories are preserved, if only for family use for now.... It would be depriving the families of those that did not come back were they to be lost forever. Yes, it must be painful, but look at what avid attention is paid to recollections on threads here. We're honoured to help, but put something back, please........
