Re: Cousin killed while on march from Stalag Luft 6
Hi Ian, Thanks for your reply. Do you know if your grandfather ever mentioned meeting any of the Canadian boys he was locked up with? Also, do you have any information on how I could contact any 7 Sqdn historical assn or veterans groups associated with the squadron? Thanks Pete

Re: Bomb aimer
In the early stages of BC was there not a "belly" turret on the heavy bombers? If yes, would there have been a dedicated bottom gunner. This would have saved a lot of crews from "Schrage Musik".

Max if there is any cost involved in looking up the ORB's for 7 Sqdn when you go to the NA on 5 Dec, let me know and I can send you a money order. Thanks again Pete

Re: Short Stirling 'M' for Mother & link
I know how you feel Alan, its the Koreans buying up everything here. Best fish n' chips I ever ate were from a little chip shop at the very end of the rail-line in Portland, they were wrapped in waxedpaper but had newspaper wrapped around the outside to keep the heat in.

Re: Stirlings Bomb Renault Motor Works Paris 3/4th March 194
Hi Bob, That was a great posting. I see the Stirlings were marked MG, I believe that is 7 Squadron is it not? Would you or anybody else on this site have the ORB info for this raid? Pete
