Just joined so new to this. Reference rmventuri jotting about Ernie Herralds crew photo. My wife is (was) Stan Gibbons daughter and I spoke to Stan on many occasions before his death about 15 years ago. Also have been in contact with Bruce Herrald, Ernies son. I thing the photo you refer to maybe the one that I placed on a board in the Kings Head at Pollington 15 years ago. Stan was in 'C' flight that reformed as 578 sqn for his last 3 flights of his tour over Berlin. All he could tell me at the time was that his pilot was "the CO". This of course was after Ernie had moved on. I would be pleased for any info as there are many gaps in my research into Stans time as WOP not least inactivity on my part in resuming research, so I was delighted to find this website and may be able to continue gathering info. Unfortunately All of Stans paperwork and logbook were destroyed after the war. Look forwad to any help forthcoming.
