Sandisondaughter,
A personal plea. My wife's late father was Groundcrew on Lancasters at Woodhall Spa. I always understood he was on 617 Sqdn. Your last post makes me wonder if he might have been working on 619 Sqdn. It would be really good to hear your dads reminiscences of his days in the RAF. I'm sure that this thread is rapidly becoming a source of reference for those days, it would be great if he could expand our knowledge. From my point of view, my father in law, like all the others who served back then, was very modest about his service, despite my being a member of the RAF throughout our too brief acquaintance. My greatest achievement was to get him aboard PA474 for an hour when we were repairing it some years ago, he was like a youngster again, and obviously enjoyed reliving his knowledge of the aircraft. Let's hope that your dad can give us some insight in to his personal experiences from those days. Best wishes in anticipation.
Smudge
