<S>, that was a good read, my Grandpa was in Sunderlands also (10 Squadron) as a radio OP, I always enjoyed the few stories he would share from that time.

A great book was "They shall not pass unseen" by Ivan Southall about 461 RAAF Sunderlands, great read, sadly I cant find a (free) copy on the internet.
