Hello Moggy.
I’m not sure where the 8th AFHS comes into this. The family of the man who had these photos posted them on our 305th BG facebook page 21st Feb. They had forwarded them to us, the 305th BGMA, some weeks prior to that. As far as I know and can see, they havent been anywhere near the 8th AFHS page. Putting them out on any public website does leave them fair game I guess. Yes they are great shots, taken by the base photo lab team, hence they are super quality. I just ask that where credit is due, they are marked up as such for the sake of the family concerned foremost. Thanks very much.

Hey Paul! No need to apologize. For exactly the same reason, they are out in the public domain and thats what the family wished to do. They have contributed to our 305th page and for that the BGMA are grateful. Regards Ian PS. You didnt make it to Horham on Sunday? Was a long day, but quite interesting in what the people are trying to achieve. Pity you couldnt be there as you could have made it two people from 1st Air Division (401st) and our selves. Ian

Billy Donald

As a friend and colleague of Bill’s, for 16 years I guess, I am lost without my scottish buddy now. I attended his funeral, was honoured to be asked to speak a few words about Billy. I shall miss him.
Yes he had a terrific send off, much of it I think would have embarressed Billy, as humble and modest a man he was. Forever standing at the back, watching an event and the results of his hard work. But that was was his, and we celebrated and remembered a great friend.
Like I said that afternoon, he leaves a huge footprint, and a legacy second to none. It shall never fade away….
Nightie Night Billion…
