Dear Sandy,
could it be possible that you still are in touch with Stephen Barker after all these years since the last post on the subject related to his father and his crew? I'm a French historian and am working on the story of the day they were shot down near Cherbourg. Your help would be more than appreciated if you could get me in touch with him.
Best regards from Normandy,
Mickaël Simon
