hi luke
it,s all out there just different sites some have more info than others i,m always amazed at what is availiable personally if something new crops up and i don,t know where to go for info i always google it only yesterday someone wanted to find out about a rellie who died in a hosp in gib so i googled the name and place and up pops a site telling the history of hosp out there that brit military have used since wellingtons day so i put it in favs in case it comes in handy again later google is a brilliant resource for finding sites in my opinion .
as i say any small snippets of info you can glean may well help the cause as to repaying me thats not what this is about we all do it for the love of the challenge i,m sure ,i,ll leave it up to you re garding getting back to me but no rush after all this time a few more days won,t hurt ,your choice i,m on every day somewhere along the line as lots of others are .
i can understand mum getting upset as we get older things get more harder to handle emotionally wise so be careful and don,t push her as the saying goes been there bought the t shirt !!just give her a big hug and tell her it would mean a lot to you to find out the facts it may well work
.
as to tony again he sure had a more than enough of a rough ride and was certainly a very very brave man to get back up there and keep going, re the planes i,ve heard the fact that a lot of the armour plating was taken out for weight saving and to help with the extra fuel loads this sounds like when they were going in to bomb berlin the furthest into enemy territory they flew .
when you say if i can help you in any way as i,m a keen bird man ( both feathered and not
) when your out shooting think of those pheasants as lancs and your the ack ack try and miss as many as pos only they don,t have a shooting chance !!!!!!!!!! .
enjoy the holiday and my love and best wishes to mum i know how she feels i,m sure speak soon
