Matt thanks for the information. Very interesting. Unfortunately this is part of the war that I am not familiar with. Where is Halverson? I know where Lydda is.

I was able to add two photographs of Gordon Jack today.

Thanks lanc35. My father was the Wireless Operator of this aircraft and I am trying to determine exactly what is written (scrawled) down.

So far I have got W/O reported that rear portion of a/c was on fire. This must have damaged elevator controls because a/c plunged.

No response over intercom to bale out order. B/A. F/E. and W/O. baled out of front escape hatch.

I had not picked up on the Monica portion, thanks.

Thanks Ross. Could you please explain that in layman’s terms.
