El Grifo mentions in #205 the following:
"It seems to me that we have the right family, at least one member of that family, and he ain't talkin !!!!"

It certainly seems to me too, at least with the information we got at this time, but if we go along this line, we have to accept that the father in the mentioned family was American and served in USAAF in Italy as a Bombardier, and for obvious reasons he could not have force landed a Spitfire in Scotland, i.e. his story does not make sense to me. And there would be no site to photograph.

BUT if we accept the story told by the guy entering El Grifo's shop, we must IMO find another mr. Raasch whose wartime records can fit the details in the story he told.

Agree with Milo to investigate the Canadian trail.

So, still more questions than answers!
