BBC News - Bismarck memories from war pilot Jock Moffat, 92
Jim
A slightly tenuous link from that story to that of Frank, the resident nav and oldest member of the crew room.
There were two pilots who hit the starboard side of Bismark and recent dives have revealed that it was one of these that did the fatal damage. One was Moffat, the other one was Sb Lt Patterson, the father of Frank's son in law. It may have been a World War but, in some ways it seems to have been a small world!
