Thanks Pam,
It was such a surprise to get the details so quickly, especially when I had little hope of finding anything at all.
Best to all,
Colin

I just wanted to thank everyone involved in the search for the info about this incident. F/SGT Griggs was my Grandfather's brother and best friend. It has been difficult to discover the truth about what happened on that day (especially as it wasn't spoken of to us grandchildren). For all these brave men who survived so much to die on a training mission . . . I feel indebted to this lost generation. Thank you again,  I can now report back to my family.
