pzu,
No (didn't like Cricket at school - they throw hard balls at you !!). The Warsaw '44 Airlift was a sad story; the Russians hampering our relief operations in every way (and I believe half the drop fell into German hands, anyway).
Fantastic news indeed ! Now if you can get in touch with your Sgt Ken Todd, try and get him aboard here where he belongs. Tempt him with this (and Google "Pilot Officer Prune" or "TeeEmm"). On this Thread we could do with all the help we can get to keep it going. Thanks, Danny.

You never see anything on these trips, so I always take a book into the turret ...
Training ? No, you see, I'm at an operational squadron now . . How was I to know there was anything wrong with the
turret: the D.I's always done by the armourer .. .
I never make a testing burst we have to clean our own
guns...
I couldn't tell the range, as it was a Condor and we'd only practised with 109's and 110's ...
Well, you see, nobody knew what it was, as we were all having our sandwiches at the time ...
We'd already sighted the coast, so I wasn't in the turret at the time .
I didn't bother much about it, as it had RAF markings on it...
Thanks,
Danny.
