Hi Steve,

Its all Hush hush, cause there's nothing happening at the minute; I was hoping to get my TA unit involved but their attention has been caught by something else, so I am going to have to try different approaches to different people. I don't know whether I'm going to be here for a while, I might end up somewhere hot and sunny if the situation in the Middle East gets any worse!

I've not given up on her, I've been trying to establish what other missions she took part in before the Tirpitz raid. I am still trying to find a shot of her before she crashed, or a good one of the nose art. I have also got to track down the bits off her that went missing, turrets, engines etc. I got an e-mail from someone telling me one of the tail fins is in a museum in Norway. How they managed to get through the red tape so quick is beyond me.

Cheers

Richard
