bill townsend
just thought some might find this intresting my home town is chepstow, in south wales and a little while back i bought a book titled the home front in chepstow 1939-1945.within the book is mention of bill townsend who flew o orange on the dambuster raid.bill was born in garden city in chepstow and quote in book reads bill townsend who lived in hardwick avenue, came over as well you see with a lancaster.they were the big bombers .he flew up the garden path.i wasn't here but all the ladies from the avenue were waving . they knew who it was of course, including his mother and sister.there are other stories of intrest but as they say is another story.
