Do you Recognise this Bomber Crew?

[Rabbit B]

i was just going trough the site when i came upon the very large photo of all the airman and the lanc,my dad was a pilot in the war on the Lancaster's and all so an bomb aimer,i all have a photo very similar to your,s but with no names,i quite a few and one of them doe,s have names on it,but as far as which squadron he was with i don,t know,i,think he met my mum when she was in the wraff,s and he was in Belfast,i will try and find the picture,s and will have to get my daughter to show me how to put them on cos i have,nt got a clue,only just learning about computers
from Jacquie.

Hi Jacquie,

Well we all have to start somewhere, there are all sort of practice sites on Rootschat if you look at them carefully you will learn a lot! I certainly did.

Despite having used computers for years I am still learning as well.  So have a go!

I shall look foreward to seeing your picture when you post it!

Hi Jacquie,
              Thanks for your input to my thread,and thanks Rabbit B for helping her. I am very intrigued to find out if you have found that my pic contains your dad as well .
              Kyt may be able to help trace what your dad did and where he served, if you haven,t found out already .He is a marvelous source of RAF  info.
     I look forward you starting your own thread and posting your photos you mentioned.
                                                                    Best Wishes Rog

Hi kalasira,

I have been waiting to hear from you, so that I can give the information that you need, I suggest that you read the guide to scanning first, or pm me and we will go through it together.


Hi Rog, it is my pleasure to help where I can especially as my relis are all Ex RAF as well
