Hi Andy,

I'm sorry, I was too fast. :?
I just wanted a copy of the log book of your father if he always had it to help me to complete 196 Squadron History but not to find the code letter that of course you would have already read...if your father wrote it because often only the serial of the aircraft was written in the Log Book.
Regards.

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for your reply.

As previously mentioned his log book disappeared from Witchford whilst he was a POW. It's not even on his list of personnel possesions, which he still has, that was compiled at the time.

All he remembers was that their "usual" aircraft was u/s and they were allocated EH952 which had just been made operational again having had engine problems. A few hours later they had to ditch due to engine failure!!

Regards,
Andy
