Here’s a photo of my dad playing with it! He was a W/Op on 102 Squadron Halifaxes – I took him to Elvington for his 84th birthday and he told me it was the trailing aerial. I could ask him questions about the equipment if you want; he still remember his morse!

Here’s a pic of him with his crew in 1944 – can you tell which is him?

I’m a bit of a latecomer but here are some pix of the Halifax at Elvington that Dave Homewood asked for.

My dad was a wireless operator on Halifaxes and I took him for a tour of the aircraft on his 84th birthday. These photos show the wirless operator’s position and the view looking up to the pilot, plus the navigators position.

My dad’s memoirs are here if anyone is interested – http://www.bomber-command.info/butchlewis.htm

I’ve got more photos if anyone wants them.
