Speaking of Canadians, the ones that come to mind are A.R. "Al" Corston who flew with No.67 Squadron RAF and I do believe "Cap" Foster of No.403 Squadron RCAF. I am sure there are others.

By some coincidence we published a short biography of Len Waters in the June issue of Aéro-Journal.

Hans: What use will that information be to you?
If I said "Yes" what help is that?
Is your name pronounced "prick"?

Brian,
We have to face a large range of people on this board, from genuine historians to nostalgics of the swastika.
That's the way it is...
