Kyt Thanks for finding these. Looks like Westland had abandoned all pretence of having a gunner blasting away at all directions at oncoming...
David Stogdon is best known as a lifeboat designer and inspector, and for pioneering use of the RIB. In WW2 he served in Destroyers with the RNVR and...
I've worked out that this was over Italy and that 70 sqdn were also using Liberators. Any idea whether there were any casualties in the crew -...
