The BBC provided a feast last night.
1. Winkle Brown's story was re-shown.
2. The re-showing of the story of the Amiens prison raid led by G/C Pickard followed.
Pickard, apart from appearing in a starring role in the 1941 documentary film "Target For Tonight', was OC of the Lysander Squadron responsible for dropping off and picking-up SoE agents into France and others.
Lewis Hodges flew with that squadron and when Peter Vaughan-Fowler pre-deceased him in 1994, he wrote his obituary published in the Independent.
Obituary: Gp Capt Peter Vaughan-Fowler | The Independent
These young pilots flying at night, aided only by map and compass, into enemy occupied France landing in and taking off from small fields, really were not only skilled but the bravest of the brave.
