My late father, who served in the RAF 1936-1962, deeply regretted the treatment of Bomber Command after WW2. He maintained that the 55,000-plus lives lost were never acknowledged by many of the self-serving politicians of post-war years, still less by the PC brigade of more recent times.
So I was saddened to see that ex-Lancaster navigator Jim Wright, who flew in 43 wartime raids and won the DFC, says that at 95 he can no longer continue his campaign to recognise the sacrifices of Bomber Command. He has failing vision and struggles to use a computer to send the emails required to keep the campaign going.
