Re: Looking for more infor on 514 sqdn and Lancaster LL727
Tomorrow I will compiling a letter to Pierre Lefebvre which my Mother will translate and send to him. I think this is the best approach insted of the telephone. All this is very emotional for her as her Brother was shot by the Germans in a Paris Metro, he was in the French resistance, but she wants to do it. My Dad passed away over 10 years ago but she says he would be proud of me taking such an interest in what he did in the war. I just wish I had done all this much sooner. Anyway I did a bit more searching for Pierre Lefebvre and found that he writes for a local newspaper in Sauveleux (dated 2008) and that they are raising money for a club building renovation to be finished by 2009. So it looks to me that Pierre is alive, so fingers crossed. I will send a printout of the satellite view of sauveleux and ask him to put an X where LL727 crashed as there are lots of unusual markings on the ground which could indicate the crash site so a positive ID would be good.
