The Internet, and boards like this one, certainly have made the world smaller.

I have alerted Dad to Reg Davey's greeting on this forum - they would certainly have some mutual friends and experiences from that period.

Dad recently received an email from Shane Delacour of New Zealand. Shane had been searching the Internet looking for information on his uncle Bertie Delacour, killed flying with 514 in 1944.
He found this entry on my Dad's Log Book:

June 12 OPS Gelsinkirchen "Lost Alex Phillips and Delacour. (confirmed dead) both swell guys."
check pages 57 and 58 here:

Dad has been able to tell the Delacours a bit about their relative - this connection would never have been made without the Internet and boards like this one.
