Howell’s New Year emergency landing in Portugal

Hi Carlos,

That’s a great blog.

I also liked the You Tube film about the expansion of the airfield at Lagens (now Lajes) in the Azores by the RAF- some nice footage of Portuguese Gloster Gladiators, and later, Coastal Command types, including air to air of RAF Fortresses.

Hi Discendo,

I’m also waiting to see the result of the work of Thomas Hamilton. I’m already in contcat with him for a couple of years and we have changed some e-mails about that event. Hope to see the movie soon… let’s see.

If you are interested in the story of flight 777, in wish Leslie Howard was flying you can find some interesting interviews in my site. In 2010 I was in Bristol in a cerimony related with that flight and was able to speack with some family members and friends of crew and passeger’s… I taped some of the conversations…
