Hello Andy,
Today will probable be the last day that I'm able to handle the PC.
Re Fletcher:

Posted to No. 272 Sqdn. on Blenheims in Nov. for patrols from N.Ireland, they converted to Baufighters and went to Egypt in May/41 with S/Ldr Fletcher A.S.C.O. After much action he took No. 272 Sqdn. to Malta. His first DFC was in Oct/40 and the second Oct/41. Postwar ran a big family farm in Warner, Alberta until recent retirement to Lethbridge. He died in 1978.
