M/Eng Derek Butcher.
I know its a year since this post was started but I have just come across it through social media. Wonderful to read this as I am the proud daughter of M/Eng Robert Derek Butcher. I believe he was the only one to fly the Lancaster during the war and also on BBMF. Good to hear the story of the oil leak, not heard that one before. I also knew Bill Holdsworth very well. Also knew Ray Leach, Ian Gibson, Jacko Jackson. Still keep in touch with Mrs Jackson.
Would love to hear from anyone who new my Dad.
Best Regards Pauline Roose - Butcher
