You're welcome fellas. I didn't know about Clothier myself until a few years ago. There was an article in a CAHS Journal, I think it was, about the man. He deserved his awards. Davaar and I toured the Aviation Museum in Ottawa one afternoon some years ago. Of particular interest was the Lanc front section, where you can look down into the cockpit from the catwalk. It was pretty damn sobering to think that in many cases the guy in that single seat was barely out of his teens. This was not long after the CBC had aired the McKenna hatchet job on Bomber Command, implying that that young man was a war criminal. Disgusting.

V2 my money's on Nanook.
