Country:  | Uncle Dennis's flight record
I know a few of you guys are aware that I had an uncle who was a Wellington (MK II) pilot with the RCAF Bison Sq and with Erich's & others help I located his details and have found his flight log .
His aircraft ID was AL 540.
We always knew him as Dennis but his first name was really Harry but he didn't want to get confused with his dad so he preferred Dennis.
His navigator & Bomb aim-er must have felt very lucky when they missed his final flight, not so for the 2 poor sods who took their places.
I just thought I would stick on here guys as it will float around the web for years after Ive long gone as a personal memorial.
