It would be nice to get one out of Norwegian waters and restore it like they did to the Handley Page Halifax that's now in Trenton Ontario Canada at The National Airforce Museum of Canada .

Did he ever talk about the grappa and wine he had with the Partisans ? My Dad said he either liked the wine and hated the grappa or it could have been the other way around .I forgot which way it went .

Just want to know where they stored the WW2 gun camera footage after the war.I'd like to see if there's any way of getting a copy of George Buerling's shoot downs when he was in Malta.
