Hi Halifaxman,

Hi Gini,

To send a PM I think you need to have made 3 postings and then just click on the small square next to the scroll that is on Halifaxman's avatar.

You should also remove your email address from your message to prevent spam etc.

I've posted elsewhere (can't find it now) looking for info on Flight Lieutenant Alan Short. All we know is that he was killed in a Halifax on 31/8/43. Where can we look for more info?
