Slight thread drift;

a former RAAF Lancaster pilot with a fund of good stories.
Centaurus; Didn`t they all have a fund of good stories? But what is really sad is that the vast majority of them never put pen to paper as it were.

And now, those stories are lost forever.

I still remember propping up the Bar of a Gliding Club one night back in the early 70`s listening to a former RAAF Wireless Op on Lancasters talking to a former Luftwaffe JU 88 Nachtjaeger Pilot, along with my Father who was a Coastal Command Sunderland Flying boat Pilot.

Most of the conversations were punctuated by roars of laughter! They never really talked about the nasty stuff!
