On short notice John filled in for a flight engineer on another Lancaster bomber crew (JB 480). He'd already flown two missions in the previous four days with his regular crew on "Queenie" (JA 962). JB 480 went missing over the North Sea returning from Berlin.
Mechanically minded, John loved working with his hands. He enjoyed inviting others to eat out - he always picked up the tab.

Lest we forget.
