Nice newspaper article. It must have been terrible when Mr was actually reported missing for several weeks.

I have found some more interesting things at places you don't expect. Two days ago I drove to Blois and saw a museum there. I did not have the opportunity to visit it, but I found out that they have a Freteval room there. I met a former resistant who showed me a green silk parachute that was used for SOE droppings in the Loire et Cher, possibly supplies for Freteval. I also drove to Chambord where Kaplan and Klemmstine ( Freteval evaders) landed. There is a nice memorial at the crash place which mentions Freteval too.
