Flt Lt R.F. Digger Aitken & Walrus 1940
 
Hi guys

Five years ago or so, I requested information on the activities of Digger Aitken who flew a Walrus on air-sea rescue duties during 1940.

Col kindly provided some background then, but I wonder if anything has been written about the actual rescues in which he participated? He apparently rescued some 35 RAF and Luftwaffe aircrew - but when and where and who?

Is anyone able to furnish such information, please?

And where can I find a photograph?

Stay safe
Brian

Hi Col

Nothing new, then?

I would of thought that someone had written about him in some detail, either here or in New Zealand.

Come on, researcher/writers in New Zealand, where is his story?

Stay safe
Brian
