Merry Christmas all, and especially to Danny.


A photo album has turned up containing photos from my Great Uncles time in Asia in 1944/5/6, which I will see later today. They are apparently dated, so likely will be possible to tie in with his log to have a guess as to where were taken. I am told they mostly seem to be taken during off duty times or on leave, but one appears to be a squadron photo taken with a very large single engine aircraft in the background - I'm hoping its a Vengeance of course, but prepared that it may be a Harvard, there is a mention that the squadron, 110 (H), had one.


I watched the you tube video of Vengeances the other day - not the most beautiful of aircraft, but they look surprisingly graceful in the dive. Must have been disconcerting for the gunner facing backwards with little to do.


Anyway, watch this space!


Jerry.
