Correction to the reference re"Shane Delacour" above. It should read "from Australia" not NZ as appears here. His uncle was known as Bert or as Herb. I last saw Bert and Alex Phillips at briefing that night as we made ready for our trip to Gelsenkirchen.We would learn at de-briefing of their failure to return. The glow from the burning synthetic oil tanks was still just visiblble as we neared the coast of England. Jonesy our Mid Upper called our attention to this. That would be 62 years ago. Cheers everyone Alex Campbell Skipper of A2-C
