Re: W/Cdr HJW Meakin DFC

Thanks guys, that's excellent.

The main reason for my enquiry is that Jack Meakin lost part of his right hand when he baled out on 21 October 1940, and was later fitted with a hook strapped to his wrist, which allowed him to continue operational flying. Some guy!

Was he Australian by birth? Has anyone a photograph of him?

Cheers and thanks again.

Brian
