Kev/Alan–
Many thanks…is this forum great or what! DS791 it is; that crew listing confirms it absolutely, F/O Ridgers was the central character in the story as it relates to the high school (Westdale SS, here in Hamilton)…his school ring was found near the crash site by a local Seeburg resident in 1958, the connection to the school just being established earlier this year in what is the school’s 75th anniversary. The ring was recently returned to the Ridgers family, who are donating it to the school. I hope to give the school a painting of the Lanc during the May reunion. (Come to think of it maybe I’ll do two, one for the school and one for the family…)
Cheers–thanks again
