A Fascinating tale of RAF pluck and tragedy many thanks for sharing. I also didn't know you were interested in the RAF until reading your article.
I have just ordered a copy of your RAF book on Amazon too.
If you are ever in " Bomber County" Lincolnshire I would be more than happy to visit some of the Airfields including RAF Ingham home of the Polish Bomber Squadrons which has recently opened and I volunteer.
Hopefully will catch up with you at the GWG Conference at Leicester in the Autumn.
Hi Simon, sorry for the late respnse. Weirdly I was actually an aviation nerd before moving to Naval - I spent much of my youth obsessed with the battle of Britain, playing flight sims and then wrote my undergraduate dissertation on the Luftwaffe so when the publisher asked me for ideas and suggested WW2 bombers I was all over it!
Thank you - I worked really hard on Storm, there was aa lot of crawling through RAF squadron diaries, sound archive testimonies and stuff.
I do come up that way sometimes, my sister lives in Newark and my Mum in Collingham so just over the border. Will let you know next time I’m up that way
