Re: [Whitley_project] Diary for P/O A Law, 58 Squadron Linton on Ouse

Hi Colin
 
Me again!!
 
I have been doing some research and have found that on the night of 3/4 September 1941,nineteen aircraft were despatched and only one lost, your Uncle's aircraft. My Dad was on the same raid that night with 51 Squadron.
 
Small world!
