Gypsy Baron has gone west..

Guys, I just saw on the "A Kill Has Been Recorded" Facebook group that Paul "Gypsy Baron" Strogen passed away in late January.

He was a great lover of scenarios and loved his bombers..

Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

I noticed his signature made mention of "Scheherazade", a B-17G that flew with the 447thBG.  Must've been a favorite of his?
