Richard and members, whilst I'm trying to work this one out ..............here is another take on it.

I've been looking throughout a selection of countries but don't really have the foggiest.
OK, it's not the bridge of river Kwai but in order to extract a decent clue, are you open to a bride?

Now if i was a Yank, i'd say, this is what i have with my eggs in the morning. But as i'm not, i'd say "bacon" So the target is.. bacon... ooops "Hamm" i'll try 5th Dec 44.
John, i'm sure you meant "bribe" in your post to Richard, at least i hope you did
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.
Absolutely right on both counts, Alan, that's an AP photograph and a card from the AOC - Hamm 'n' exx it is, on 5th December 1944:
94 Lancasters of 3 Group carried out a G-H raid through cloud. No aircraft lost. The British Bombing Survey Unit estimate that 140 acres, 39 percent of Hamm's built up area, were destroyed by this attack.
