Sorry
Danny, this Panton was definitely an Alistair who had been shot down like all the attacking Battles on the Maastricht bridges raid. Rupert says in a future post:
I wanted to get to Alistair Panton and a lot of other POWs who were now flying Mosquitos at Benson.
As you will guess by now, things did not work out for Rupert when he gets to Benson, and as usual he does not spare himself ...
By the way, I have tried listening to Rupert's IWM recordings on several PCs and iPads and they work fine although sometimes the tape is slow to download. Anyone having difficulty, check that speaker/headphone audio is turned on [
Control panel -- sound] as sometimes Windows 7 turns speakers off. If anyone wants the link to the original recording:
