In 2002, Alec attended the 60th anniversary reunion of the PRU at RAF Benson & was asked if he would bring photographs of his Spitfires & his aerial reconnaissance pictures as well as press cuttings that he had saved, to be displayed at the event. After the reunion, when his items were not returned, he wrote to the Flt Sgt that was organising the event. He didn't get a response, so wrote to Benson's C.O. & again amazingly didn't receive a response.
He was
asked to loan his memorabilia, then later queried its return. Neither the NCO who organised the event, nor the Stn Cdr replied.
Hardly a 'mistake'......
Sorry if you don't think that's something to be angry about; others clearly do.
