for what its worth, i used to work at Crewe and one of my mates said that his mother worked on Crewe station during the war, and said she saw James Stewart on the station. Did,nt mention a date, so must have been on leave as in his book Jimmy Stewart-Bomber Pilot, it states he took his sq. to England 10/11/43 across the South Atlantic arriving at Tibenham 23/10/43.There is also a picture of him with Clark Gable but I think staged as JS flew B.24,s and CG to do with gunnery on B.17,s.
