Hi and Thankyou
I have googled till I am googled out Laughing- have found some great sights - but thankyou for your reply , it is so wonderful that people still remember these brave young boys/men (my Dad lied about his age to join up) . The Yorkshire Museum is the top of the list because they do have the Halifax there - will post pics when we are back from our trip.

Thanks again
Lesley

Hi Charlotte- yes have actually found one and got in touch with the Secretary so he is going to send a few things to us ...very exciting - I guess dad is quite withdrawn about the war but he has told my son more than he ever did me and only got his medals when he turned 80 as Ben kept asking him about them .....i have to get a tape recorder as he will let a few things drop whilst talking and it is something that I think is so very important...thanks for replying  :)

Hi Old Rowley ,
Thankyou for telling me about that - have looked at many  :-\

I am just hoping I can actually find someone who is still kicking LOL that was with Dad in the war - it will be a big thing for him to go back to Spalding but there will be Mum myself and my 19 yr old who prob has made this possible as he and dad are very close and Ben has always said they will do the trip.....Plus they have  Halifax at the York museum so very exciting ...so good that the youngones want to know more....thanks again  :)

Hi - am new to this so am sorry if it sounds silly ???
My Dad - George Howie (also known as Jock) was with the 76th in Holme on Spalding more and was a flight engineer - his pilot was Ian Weir and they were actually shot down  on the 28th June 1944 - just want to know how do you find out if the others that lived are still around - reason being is that we will be coming back to UK in Sept (now live in Australia) so there you go - would love to hear from anyone......Lesley
