Interview with Navigator from Warsaw Airlift 1944

I've posted links to Tinus Le Roux's series of interviews with SAAF personnel from WWII before

Here is his interview (with CGI enhancements) with Lt Bryan Jones of the SAAF, Bryan was Navigator of 31 Squadron LiberatorVi EW105 'G' shot down over Warsaw on 14 August 1944

Bryan's fellow crew were Lt PR Klette (pilot), Lt AE Faul, WO2 LED Winchester, WOII HR Upton and WOII HJ Brown all SAAF and WO TG Davis RAF(VR)

All save WOIIHJ Brown became POW's it is understood that at some stage Brown was shot and wounded whilst attempting to escape and later died of his wounds and probably buried as an unknown 'Canadian airman'

Post war Winchester who had become an SA Senator traced this burial and it is now accepted as WOII HJ Brown

The interview is here
