Great pic.
Your dad had the worst seat in the house if he was back in the rear... seems they liked to shoot at people riding back there.

Thanks,
I just thank my lucky stars WW2 finished as he was being transferred to the far east as I am quite sure I wouldn't be writing this!

Well I am certainly glad he came through it in one piece.... Anybody brave enough to climb into a bomber and basically tell the entire enemy air force come and get me deserves a break...especially when the boys on the ground are lobbing a few tons of explosives and steel up just too make it tricky.

Thanks - it's in dad's "gallery" of pictures done by me and my brother. When we look at old photos, we don't realise how young people were - probably because of the style of clothing.
