One fact you won't find in Trigg's papers, is mention of him Ferrying a Hudson from Dorval to the UK. Not sure of the exact date, but sometime between 17/12/1941- 9/1/1942 (subject to correction).

You might find the following photos/captions useful:

Hi Col,
Once again thank you, for your continued help.

Next puzzle why is his Wellington only recorded as B503 on official AWM records normally has another letter ?

Barbara Tribe, superb sculptress, AWM have quite a few papers on her meeting with Triggs unfortunately my wallet/advanced fees didn't expand to the amount required for copying etc.,

Andy
