Thanks for that Simfrank, I got to the RoH link, as all crew member names are there, it narrowed down which of the two aircraft lost that night I was looking for ! Now all I would dearly like is a photo of Lancaster 111 ND931 60-H of 582 Sqdn preferably at Little Staughton ? is that too much to ask ? Keith.
Wow ! Thank you, Don Clark, T21 and Peter Clare, you kind people are so resourceful ! I followed some of your links and came up with JB417, almost got there, as I found the complete crew listing from local church records, I can confirm it was indeed ND931 60 – H of 582 Squadron as you so rightly predicted.
My colleauge’s grandfather was in that crew ! he did not know that his wife / partner was pregnant with my colleague’s mother ! This information, I know will help him put some things into place. I know ,he, like myself will be forever grateful for your generous help with this. I await the day when hopefully I can offer similar to your good selves. Thank you Keith Newsome.
Thank you, A friend in need ? Keith.
Umm, yes a start but a very small one ….. from little acorns etc ……….
Gary, I have just cleaned the mirror in my bathroom, and in that mirror I saw the face of a happy, free, man ! were it not for the efforts of people like Ernest it would maybe not be that way ! To him thankyou ! RIP. Keith.
Have just been trawling the net, and apparently the museum of berkshire aviation, at Woodley, have (or did in 2000) a large upper fuselage section of G-AMEW / XA265 Marathon …………. Keith.
Photo # 1 Handley Page Marathon 1. I also have in mind Miles Marathon ?
Photo # 2 Vickers Viking ? I stand to be corrected ! Keith.
Mmm ! You are indeed a wise man Mr Bruce. I am sworn to secrecy on this one ! “say no more” Although None of my friends locally have seen anything for two weeks ish. Enjoy Lingwood. Keith.
Carefull now, as it’s christmas the fairy of christmas (or Freddie Laker. rip.) may sneak down from Stansted and but a bulbous nose on each and call them Carvairs ! now wouldn’t that be nice ? Happy Christmas to all. Keith.
Have looked again at my earlier picture post, and noticed all the guys in dark suits have both of their hands firmly planted in their pockets ! why ? Is this a Liverpool thing ?
Positive sighting of her here at Norwich on 28 November and others saw her flying from and to here on 01 December and 08 December ! No news since ? Keith.
How about my little theory, when flying in radar controlled airspace, the stealth type aircraft must have a very close chase plane flying the same course and very close ! or they are (allegedly) invisible ! Keith.
Just found another shot of connie sitting down ! morale, don’t stash all the fags at the back ?

Thank you people, another few brain cells re-engaged (defragmented) ! Keith.
Mark V, I only have two more, enjoy. Keith.
