IWM Interview with Mossie PR Navigator

[Scherf]

I love the internet.

About half an hour ago, I saw this post, about the loss of Mosquito LR408:

Hmm, thinks I, bet I already have those names in my database.

No indeed, I didn't have any details on the loss of that aircraft, names nor anything else. Seeing both crew had been taken PoW, on a whim I googled the pilot's name, and came up with an Imperial War Museum interview with his navigator.

Four parts of about 25 minutes each (I'm going to get Morf in trouble with his lady again...), but well worth the time. Mosquito ops, being shot down, off to the Great Escape camp, fascinating stuff.

Somewhere, a Luftwaffe pilot has been denied proper credit...

  I read her your post and all she said is what are you telling those guys!!


    She laughed and said I get a pass this time but it wont work again!




  


  I missed the part about the great escape camp,as a young boy my neighbour Mr. Tompson was rumoured to be in that camp,years later I found out it was true!
