Wow!

This is PPRuNe at its best - the willingness of people to help another in their quest for information about their deceased family members.

Too much of PPRuNe these days is devoted to pointless political posturing and virtue signalling!

Hi Brian,
I couldn't agree more, the information I've received in the last few days has been absolutely fantastic. It's given me a load of new avenues to explore and I really didn't expect the response I've received, thank you all. Dad's rear gunner Doug Curtis wrote his memoirs a few years ago, I've got a copy of them somewhere ( moved house again recently) which had some toe curling tales of dering do. I also have a book recommended by Doug, Fire By Night written by Jennie Gray about Black Thursday Dec 1943. On a different road entirely I recently read Pulling Wings From Butterflies written by Capt Mike Simkins about what really goes on inside large airlines. Eye opening !!!!!. both on Amazon..
Best regards, Matt.

I strongly endorse Brian's comments and his statement of appreciation to those who have been of such excellent assistance.

Well Done!
