Berlin Airlift
Discussion
Nice one David. I met with Pop Taylor's grand daughter last night for dinner. She still has her grandfather's radio cap and his flight logs...
60th anniversary of the Airlift at our grandfather's grave...
And extract from his flight log...
We are meeting up again at the grave this lunchtime. I've a bit to tell Donny, I've met up with one of my brothers this week for the first time, found out from digging that Jig Willy was part of Pathfinder 97Sqn during the war and flew on the raid to Peenemunde. Survived the war and sold to Flight Refuelling Ltd in 1946.
Donny would have been 100 on July 9th this year.
