Thank you for the welcome back Chug - appreciated. If only John were still here to answer the questions. He only ever wanted the rescue told and to see his face when the story appeared in Aeroplane was a real pleasure. On a visit to an aircraft restoration workshop in Watton I spotted a pair of wings high up and asked what they were from and was taken aback to be told they were from an L5
Having told the owner the story of John's time in Burma he kindly let me have a wing rib. The rib remained on the living room wall of John's bungalow until he passed away.
