I took this snapshot at today's Bomber Command Association signing event at the RAF Museum, London and I like the expression I captured.

The man is 'Charlie' Chapman DFM of 156 Squadron PFF ( Lancasters ).

Robin, I hoped you'd be the man to tell us more. Many thanks indeed for that & for all the effort you're putting in to preserving Pathfinder history. [img]graemlins/salute.gif[/img]
