Hi,
I've only just read your post front 2008.!
My father was a Hermes survivor. Sadly he died in August 2003 but I do have a lot of the items he accumulated over the years. He was Ronald Wightman.
I have just been reading some letters he wrote around the time of the 50th celebrations, he was not happy as he didn't Want to celebrate. In his case I can understand.
For 60 years he had a shadow on his lung which was as a result of him swallowing diesel oil at the time she went down.
I'm happy to provide any info I might have.
Regards
Lesley Wightman
