Thanks very much for the info. it has helped fill in another gap. Co-incidentally just under 12 months later my father was undergoing a similar experience having been shot down in a Wellington over le Havre.

I do have a favour to ask, I can't locate a copy of the relevant book in Victoria (Australia) is it possible to scan the two pages and email them to me?
I will understand if you can't.

Thanks

Rick
