Gents, Just started some research into the following crew, I am aware of what happened to the skipper, but interested in the remaining crew, 38 Group is not my area of research. Can anyone with a interest in 190 Squadron confirm if the crew survived their time with 190 Squadron, and where they were ...

Hi all, Looking for a photo of the former pilot. Served with 218 flying Wellingtons in 1941, awarded a DFC on completion of his tour. Returned to 218 in early 1943 and started second tour on Stirlings. On August 7th 1943 was posted as a flight commander to the No.620 Squadron. He was shot down and m...

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the heads up, either I am thick ( answers on a post card ) or I am doing something wrong, I am after two accident cards for two Blenheims of 218, T1920 & L9264. No joy

Gents, Has anyone down loaded Accident Cards from the TNA ? I am after two Blenheims Accident Cards, I have waited 5 weeks for RAF Hendon, but I am told they are available from the TNA. I had a quick look but was unable to find. Can anyone advice and point in the right direction please. TIA Steve

I have taken the step of hiring a professional proof reader who will at the very least change my dodgy grammar and spelling mistakes, which are numerous. Not cheap but it will...

Gents, I am in the need for help, but not in the usual way. As you may know my book on 218 is to be published in April, however I have a problem. I have been asked to do a final edit on the book as a matter of urgency to meet the deadline. Unfortunately my partner Jill has cancer and is currently re...

John,

Alan was a bit miffed the crew did not look like the cartons, it made me laugh, poor old Alan all them years looking for a crew who looked like Disney characters

Cheers all
