I was delighted to see that Les Munro was there.
When I was in NZ last year, I bought a book of interviews with the crews - the title escapes me. My wife was looking at it and said "It's used! Someone has written on the title page." "What does it say?""There are some words and a signature - Les Munro". "That's not a used book; that's been signed by one of the pilots!"
Interestingly,Les's Lancaster was hit by flak on the inbound track and the intercom was disabled, so they had to abort, since the intercom was vital in getting the height right on the bomb run. He ascribes his survival as probably due to that lucky hit.
