Re: Which stories behind these photos?

Pleased to hear that, Larry.

Thank you Michal! No informations for the first one spit? 2nd letter of Sqn code possibly K?

Halifax, today:
1942, remains of Halifax GV°K from 1652 HCU , Serial R9372. http://cgi.ebay.de/6x-FOTO-abgeschos...item3a66311b73
Have a look at "Lost Bombers" website, regarding this peculiar Halifax http://www.lostbombers.co.uk/bomber.php?id=7673
and at this link for Marston Moor home base. http://rafg.moonfruit.com/#/marston-moor/4545911961

Do you know if these photos still exist anywhere? I have recently identified P/O Dougall in my family tree so am very interested to find out more information on him. I know he ended up in Stalag Luft 1 and would be very interested in seeing any pictures of both him and/or his Spitfire,

Thanks,

Neil
