Scotland / Re: Charles Harper

Hello Donald,
Many thanks for your information. As a result of a visit to Kelloholm I managed to establish that Charles had a surviving brother who had moved away from the village. I eventually was able to track him down living not too far away from me in the same county as I live ! This was just based on a theory that he may have moved down to Corby to join Stewarts & Lloyds steelworks as so many Scots have done and the hunch paid off. The book was published and Charles brother was able to come to the book launch and he was shown the area of the crash site. Since then, all the crews names have been added to the village War Memorial and their names read out at Remembrance Sunday. In November this year a Memorial Picture was placed in Harpole Church. The book is titled Flight LP826 and I am hoping to visit Kelloholm again in the new year and place a copy in your village heritage rooms.
Best Regards
Patricia
