Union Jack,
Marvellous story ! - "Collapse of Stout Party" (as Victorian "Punch" used to say)........D.
Lasernigel,
No direct connection, but two odd coincidences: I was at St.Joseph's College, Layton Mount, before the war. Was the old place still there in your day ?........and, I have a relative living in, Toorak, Victoria, Australia. Could be a Polish name.
Don't apologise - butt in all you like !.........D.
JOE-FBS,
Project Propeller is a wonderful idea. They have 150+ WWII aircrew, they say. Might some of them be persuaded to come in here and lend us a hand ?...........D.
Thank you all, chaps, (bit more story tonight)
Danny.
