I was fortunate to give a lift to one of these pilots back in 2006. Jimmy Stewart, who flew Typhoons with 609 Squadron, was over from Canada to attend a reunion during Flying Legends at Duxford that year, and I took him back to south London where he was staying with his great niece and her family.
Jimmy had flown catapult Hurricanes previously as well. He was shot down over France just before D-Day and because of all the transport problems was locked up in the local prison. Once the Germans decided it was time to move everyone out he was shifted to Buchenwald.
After the war he moved to Canada. A fine gentleman with lots of interesting stories to tell.
