Anyone in the USA/Canada/U.K. remember 617 Sqn’s Goodwill Tour 1947 and has any Photo’s/Newspaper Clips/Knowledge. 16 Lincoln Bombers took part, and I was on the tour. Am completing history and require input from North America, all history taken from official documents, and from survivors like myself. Tour was from July/September 1947, and included Air Displays from Andrews Air Force Base Washington DC, on Air Force day when the USAAF changed to the USAF.

If you are still there Bob, I was at Binbrook with ATC when 617 went off to the US. I have a couple of photos which may interest you. See my thread, Bakewell.
