Hi Temujin,

Impressive. I've never seen a post operation report before.

Hi Temujin,

I'm stunned! I really thought this would be a dead end.

But, hey, it wasn't.

Many MANY Thanks for this. I'll add it to the information in the Errata.

All the Very Best,

Hi, Been a while. I just got to F/S P.W. Gregory RAF, lost from 61 Squadron Lancaster R5615 QR-H June 27-28, 1942. He is listed in They Shall Grow Not Old as a Canadian, from Forest, Ontario. But the only record I can find on this airman on a web search indicates he was from Paignton, Devon, England...

Hi Temujin,

Thanks for the confirmation on the MiD. I just stopped in to check on my monthly clean-out of the computer.

I'll add it to the entry.

Hi Temujin, Sorry for the delay in replying, I was formatting the latest update to the Chronology. That update will include several references to this site, all your work. And I feel guilty at the amount of work you put into this matter. But I think you have covered it fully, and answered the questi...

Hi All, Here's a tough one, with many possible errors. F/L Duval MiD RAF (Can.) was lost from 403 Squadron April 27, 1942, when he collided with the Squadron CO S/L C.N.S. Campbell DFC RAF over France. S/L Campbell was taken PoW. They Shall Grow Not Old references that F/L Duval had flown in the Bat...

Hi All, Sorry for the delay in replying and Thanking all those who responded. For some reason I could not log into the site. Well, from the information, I think there might well have been two T.J. Delaney's from Newfoundland. One, Sgt Air Gunner Delaney who was killed, and the other a commissioned p...

Hi All, I have a question about Sgt Thomas Joseph Delaney 798558 RAF, of Plancentia, Newfoundland, killed April 12, 1942, 107 Sqn. Boston W8355 shot down into the sea off France by flak. He is listed as an Air Gunner in most sites, but an article from the Hamilton Spectator reproduced on the Canadia...

Hi All, Got the book. Canadians on Radar in South East Asia 1941-45 by Angus Hamilton, Canadian Radar History Project, 1998. He lists sixteen known Canadians on RDF (Radar) in Singapore / Indonesia when the war in the Pacific began. For future users, with some information from other sources: AC2 Rus...

Thank You Temujin, Much more information that I had before, but still not clear what happened to Cpl Pink. But he was last reported before the general surrender of the NEI, so less likely to be a prisoner than killed in action. It does confirm what I suspected, that Cpl Pink was a radar (575 AMES), ...
