| there is another mossie pilot i want to trace-from second TAF dont know him or his name-but he is the reason my father told the AVM 'Gongs!? I **** gongs!' ( and refused)-like Steinhoff he was still having plastic surgery 20 years after the war Do you want me to see if I can find a timeline for this guy of narrow down some possible dates (I actually have the 3 volumes on 2nd TAF but got them shipped to dad's house-he knew (sir) basil embrey, and 2nd taf was pretty much his baby I think |

| weird, wonder why that posted like that ? oh well. Hotter give me some time and I may ask for them myself or dig deeper into the kdness of my freidn to send me a scan(s) of the appropriate documents and will pass on free of charge to you. yes check in the volumes of the 2nd TAF for the chap for dates and we can certainly give it a go. since you have the regarded 2nd TAF volume 3 I may send you an inquiry on a couple of Mossie intruder missions during 1945 if that would be fine with you Erich

| it would be a pleasure-although i have to pick it up from mum-but if you have the info i will ask my brother who is up there this week-it would be good for me to do something for you additionally i have some tapes that have to be rerecorded and engineered-i went to see squadron leader dickie martin a week and a half ago(originally battle of britain 73 squadron)-dads best friend-who sadly is dying of another similar cancer He met dad while they were at preston and dad was 'president of the courts of enquiry' (9 group i think) -we now know this as air accident investigation this was his first stint-his second was at fighter command after hed been returned to the uk from germany at stanmore (middx) If one has to pay for the administration or a release fee of these documents from the archive let me know-for me its a holy grail, kind of dad thing, I guess |

| Gentlemen, I am new today and I just saw this thread. Does anyone have a copy of the Bomber Command Operational Diary set? I just checked the official web site from the MoD and for 39 through the end of 41 its pretty skimpy to non-existant. Thanks in advance, konev |

| tommie smith Erich, and for those of you that are interested click on to the 'Times Online' and go to the obituaries page-somewhat rearranged by the paper, but the outline is there. |
