I met him a few times & after his death wrote to his address but never received a reply. Quite a nice chap who asked once if I would like to see his medals & out of his top pocket hidden from view he produced his RK & EL

Sorry Nikita. All we talked about was his Western Front experiences and who shot him down in North Africa

Chris, thank you for info. One more little question, was his logbook(s) at his disposal at the time you met him?
