Bill Jackson was the only survivor on a Stirling which crashed in Germany on a mine laying mission. One of my uncle's was the navigator.

Big Joe has organised a spot of R & R so I will be off air for a day or 3
Probably just as well as I see that I appear to be rising through the ranks too quickly for my liking, at this rate I will be Supreme Commander by Christmas :cry:
