Absolutely amazing. Thank you everyone for the invaluable information. Brian's attachements are detailed accounts on what happened. My Mother is French and translated it for me. She was with the resistance in a safe house that helped my Dad when he and Fox bailed out. I have now in my possesion all my Dad's papers, log book and photos of 514 squadron and 196 squadron he was in. I also have a copy of Ed Greenburgh's book that he wrote about Lou which mentions the operation and crash. I see a photo of Micheline and Pierre in his book. The plane crashed about 20 metres from their house, luckily no one was injured or killed. I will OCR the 2 scans and translate them for anyone else who is interested.

I have looked for Lefebvre's address on Google Maps and Google earth but it cant match up the 60480. I wonder if this is the address where LL727 went down or he has moved. I dont really want to ring up out of the blue and say, do you remember 65 years ago....... I think I will get my Mother to write a letter to him. I am sure he will be glad to tell us his memories.
Hopefully I will get to meet Pierre and Micheline (hoping they are still alive) next year if I can get an exact location of the crash site, or course with metal detector in hand!!
