My life

Keep it coming London - My Dad just passed away at 91. He was a Lancaster pilot with a crew of 7 bombing Belgium and Germany when he was 19 years old (149 Sqn). Amazing stories but that was how it was.

Your story is unique right up to 2016. Worth sharing your memories for those who have not experienced many of the things you have experienced.

We are all mortal but the memories should live on.

Hey Giz.

I'm quite the history buff myself, and I've done a fair bit of family history myself. Particularly squadrons, ships and groups/operations they're part of.

With you saying 149 squadron, I did a bit of digging and found a whole load of useful links and info- have a look yourself!

The last link might actually be of some use it identify your father and crew. Hope it helps! :thumbup:
 
Dang Blitz!

That's awesome!!

...but no Aslan right?
 
Thanks for the links Mr_Nicoll
My father flew "K" for King - The Little King. Did his tour from mid 1944 till January 1945 then packed up to fight the Japanese back in Australia. VJ day happened while he was training up for redeployment.

I will get some photos and add them to the links.
