Re: An Impossible Task?

Great Search Engine - Many Thanks.

Still no Wood for the Trees though - I have found a little more Information which may help?

"Luke" made a Low Pass (Very!) over the centre of Ashford (Middlesex) at some time during the War & put all of the Power out at the local Cinema

He was obviously showing off a little as my Grandmother & Aunt lived in a flat (Where the attached picture of Luke was taken) above the Butchers (Near to Woolworths) as my Uncle Reg Austin was the local Master Butcher.

This has been confirmed by an old family freind who said that it was in the Local Papers as it caused a lot of commotion - So now I need to see what Papers were around in the Ashford/Staines area during the war to see if any Information can be found there? - And if so was he ever found out & possibly demoted for his actions or posted to some far outpost? - Did this ever happen during the War & would it be documented anywhere?

Anyway sorry to be a pain but I suspect that I have almost exhausted most if not all avenues due to the very limited amount of Info I have to go on so will leave you all alone soon - Many Thanks for all of your help & Posts - Very much appriciated!

Best Regards - Keith.
