Re: Halifax
Thanks for posting that. My grandad was a flight engineer on the Halifax. Imagine being 19 years old doing what those boys did.

Re: Halifax
My dad was an air gunner, later air bomber, in Halifaxs (35 and 158 Squadrons), then a navigator in Lancasters. I once asked a historian of his squadrons if there was anything notable about his wartime career and he said 'no..... except he survived'.john'sroseyspecs wrote:Thanks for posting that.
