John.
Just been having a look, at your very full and comprehensive albums on webshots. Damn, there's some nostalgia right there
Just out of idle interest, whilst you were at El Adem, did the dump still contain WW2 aircraft? I think they were Italian?
Anything else you fell over on your travels in that part of the world would be of great interest....
Also, in response to your other queries, you could try Ross McNeill over at
www.rafcommands.com . Coastal Command is his specialist subject, and there is a forum, with some incredibly knowledgeable people too!
Best regards
Tony
