Re: 'Bob' Braham's Beaufighter Mk VI
I have followed this thread with great interest. I was trained, after the war luckily for me, as a nav/rad on AI Mk10. I served 18 months on the Mosquito NF36, which was a tidied up NF30 with later Merlin engines, followed by some 4 years on the Meteor series of night fighters. We were taught to call "Murder,murder" as the call that we had completed an interception, having laid the gunsight on the target.
I have the 3 books listed above and await the publication of the book with great interest. I have the greatest regard for the people who did that job for real -- the hardships and difficulties are hard to imagine even for me. Lewis Brandon was i/c the radar training section of the OCU at Leeming when I was there, and I have a copy of his book which he kindly signed for me.
