My father passed away a long time ago, way back in 1989. When I was a kid he told me about his job during WWII. He was an RDF operator for most of his time directing night fighters to intercept German intruders. He also spent a little time flying as a navigator/observer in mosquitos and was in an RAF group attached to the US on D-Day setting up RDF/radar to detect the expected strong Luftwaffe response.

I think all I want to say is thank you for this thread. I haven't been able to talk to my father for a long time of course, but he always told me how wonderful the Mosquito was and how it changed the war.

Sorry for the interruption, but thought you'd like to know.
