You're Top Poster: #3 | Yep, I'm with you Kyt, I just swapped subjects mid-stride! The stuff you found on David's aircraft was most impressive and I'm still in awe at what's at your fingertips.

You're Top Poster: #1 |  on the clever use of emosRight, this is a reminder to myself to get a couple of scans done in the morning from "Filming the Dambusters". The book has some lovely shots.

Back to Lancs...kermit Weeks has one in storage at his Fantasy of Flight complex in Florida. It'll see the light of day one day and may be the only other candidate for flight. http://www.warbirdregistry.org/lancr...anc-kb976.html http://www.lancastermuseum.ca/

 And the accompanying text states: Quote:
However, W5001 never flew with 9 Squadron and was in fact lost with 207 Squadron in May 1943 - it seems to have been a typo and the correct code should be W5011. David and the rest of the crew subsequently transferred to 514 Squadron (from 9 Squadron) which has a great website: http://www.514squadron.org/home/home.htm

You're Top Poster: #3 | Mt Twinn, the rear gunner, has done a few posts with the BBC re his memoirs. I really must get in touch with him to view his logbook as it is more detailed than David's. David lists target and the occasional "casual" comment like "came home on three engines" and that's pretty much it. Mr Twinn's logbook will provide some good cross referencing as well.
