I have them Bob....
There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.

Re: RAF 576 Squadron Helmswell
Hi Alan, Have spoken to Bill about his log book and Ops but he has mislaid his book. He was at Hemswell
from approx. 1940 until 1946. His pilot was Richard Carrington and Bill did 26 ops before the war ended.
Best regards

Re: RAF 576 Squadron Helmswell
Bob,
This crew were only with 576sqdn for approx 3 weeks, before going on to 150sqdn. They did 4 ops...........
11th Nov, Dortmund.
16th Nov, Duren.
18th Nov, Wanne Eickel.
21st Nov, Asschaffenburg.
Correction with Pilots name, should be "Callington"
pm your email to me, and i'll send pages that cover the time period.
