Chugalug,
Reg Lewen ? (couldn't have confused him with Reg Levy, Sir ?) He (RIP) told us here of the amazing story of his war, an interlude postwar running round in a van flogging cut priced toilet rolls to seedy hotels in Bayswater - and then a wonderful career, culminating as a Captain with Sabena, including the gripping account of his hi-jacking at Tel Aviv and the outwitting of the hi-jackers which made him world-famous.
Incorporated it into a book ("Night Flak to Hi-Jack"). Have the Kindle, can recommend.
Walter,
...As you noticed I kept most of my hair on top of my head. Still got lots of it, now white!
...
Couldn't spare any of it for me, by any chance ?
All honour to Mark Cohen for quick thinking as a POW, and then the assiduity with which he tracked down his former comrades in adversity.
...A "brave" Jewish air-gunner..
As was my Auxiliary C.O. at Thornaby, Wing Commander David Brown DSO (61 ops).
We stand humbly before such men.
Danny.
