Thanks for this pic Rusty, do you have any more?

I have a special interest in the Dambusters raid.
(The reason?, see my surname in my sig)
Thanks in advance,

When I saw your address I thought that you might
have had a connection with Les Knight's, or
Mick Martin's crews, then one of the other crews.
But no.
I can only assume you must have some
connection to British nobility namely
Air Vice-Marshal the Hon. R A Cochrane.

A survivor of Les Knights crew F/Sgt.
R Kellow spent the rest of his life in my
fair city, Winnipeg Canada. Sadly he died
before I found that out. I have his very good book
in my library.

All those links timed out for me. Here is a YouTube link that worked for
me and will lead you to some others.
