RAF Aircrew stranded in Montevideo 1943/44
Hi all,

Doing some research into the career of a pilot of No.218 (Gold Coast) Squadron. In his diary he records that he and other RAF aircrew were stranded in Montevideo for almost 7 months and that it was the hospitality of ex-pats that kept them well feed and healthy.

Can anyone explain what the circumstances surrounding this long stay are ?

TIA

Steve
