Enforcer57 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 That's neat. I'd seen pix of MkVs flying that late in the war and always wondered about that. Amazing that he could survive 4 yrs of it. I do hope he records a bit of his experience.....maybe you could take a tape recorder and accidentally show up some day? Or take notes. I did that with a guy living near me that was a 40mm gunner on the CVE Sangamon through most of the Pacific war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfesser Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Got the pic. The happy gent in the center is our intrepid Spit pilot, I'm left. They're holding a pic of a hunting trip where the best way to lure a moose is a moose call combined with Mac filing a bent prop off the outboard.

Perfesser Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Thanks Painless, it gives me an excuse to look him up and thank him for the memories, gently put feelers out if he would document his experiences. I'd always heard he was reluctant to talk about it (I think his brother was killed) but when he wears a suit you always see his little RAF wings.
