Hello MindOverMatter (Mark)- GREETINGS FROM MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA
Thank you for your interesting post. My brother (W/O Laurie Collins,WAG, RAAF) was stationed with RAF 101 Squadron at Ludford Magna from 10 September 1944 till his fatal flight, 16 January 1945, 28 sorties. He also was a member of the Empire Training Scheme, partly trained in Australia and finished in England. He was a member of a crew made up of 4 RAF, 3 RAAF, and 1 RCAF- Seven of the 8 crew were killed but one Australian meraculously survived their crash.
Over the years, I have found it difficult to get photos of “active” aircraft with the ABC equipment-I was told that it was highly illegal at that time to take photos of these planes, due to the secret nature of the ABC equipment..
I too am extremely interested in any information regarding my brother, W/O Laurence COLLINS, and his crew.
Thank you for your very intering post, Mark. a ns subseguent authors of the posts.
