PatMc Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 (edited) This short BBC video is well worth watching, especially so today. It's one of a series of shorts currently on BBC News site from all of the services of WW2 veterans telling their own individual story. Plus this one of John Hemingway, the last known surviving BoB pilot. Edited November 11 by PatMc 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leccyflyer Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Many years ago, we were lucky enough to have a club night where we were treated to a talk by local man and friend of one of my clubmates , a former Mosquito pilot, Flight Sgt Jim Weston, who held us all spellbound with his recollections of his time as a 23 Squadron night intruder pilot and his later service in the post war Transport Command, including the Berlin airlift. I posted about the talk at the time on RCG. Just a few days ago, I came across a recorded interview produced as part of the International Bomber Command Centre's digital heritage project. The interview was recorded when Jim was 95 and is a remarkable piece, well worth a listen. Sadly Jim died last year, aged 99 and he had been the last surviving 23 Squadron Mosquito pilot. https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.ac.uk/omeka/collections/show/1192 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
