Thanks Bruce, we are ok here, I hope you are the same.

I will search out my copy of John Kent's book. Cooper's new work will have me reading Al Deere's autobiography again too.

Deere seems to have had a very poor time as a squadron commander. I remember reading in that book that he was censured by a senior officer for the losses incurred in an action while leading by 403 Squadron in 1942.

best regards

Keith
