If you do not get an answer in the meantime, I will when I get home but don't you mean Hptm Werner Techam?

Re: Hptm Techmar of 5./196

All I have in notes (and this is not in Les & Tony's list) is a 10 Sqn ac was lost probably to 5/196-no names or times

Re: Hptm Techmar of 5./196

Many Thanks Chris, likewise managed to find via one of the relatives of Sgt Feally the probable surname. But, no times etc.,

Once again thank you,

Andy

PS: Second and third eye op went well, sight gradually coming back to right eye.
