Dear Chris
Thank you so much for the wonderful info .I see the pilot did not die so much for on the spot info on the postcard.
Again thank you.

Dear Tony,

the pilot was my grandfather.
I'd like to see the postcard very much because i've only started now to retrace his steps. Would this be possible? I'd be very grateful for that. Is he on the photo or did he take it?
