Much to my lasting regret – we had a Mosquito on strength but I chickened on flying it. But flew the Beau with no problem………………….???

Love the song in the video – done by a then 90y/o ex-pat living in Canada. He did a whole series of near the knuckle wartime diities!

My apologies for my (hopefully unnoticed by most) earlier interjection into such an erudite discussion.
It was my intention to say a quick ‘hello’ to Santiago. Unfortunately my attachment showed the story of my life. Uncalled for.

But I am so glad that I came across this thread – with its links, so full of wonderful stories.

While here, may I offer these photos that I took – I think – on 26 October 1944. They may have some connection with 8 Squadron?

= all the best, Tim
