Re: Information please: shooting down of Halifax on the night of 16/17 August, 1944
Glad to have found this thread. Our Uncle Tony was ALSO onboard Halifax Mk.BIII MZ687 - as Rear Gunner. We're Canadians living in England, and by coincidence, we live only 14 miles from Tholthorpe Airfield.
We have been to the airfield recently and left a small RCAF memorial on the main runway. We explored and photographed the now-closed airfield and found the remnants of the utilitiy buildings and saw the control tower, which is now a private home. We would be most interested if you have any further info with regards to Sgt. Proud's letter you viewed, and indeed living here, we could potentially track down and share any additional info through local archives here. For example, the old main RCAF heaquarters in the castle at Allerton Park are even closer to us than the airfield. Fascinated to learn about NJG 3 and the exact time of the night fighter attack. Regards, Chris & Josie
