Hi there Steve.
This video is great! My great uncle, P/O D.J. Marks, DFM, flew with 97 Squadron, and he was missing with his crew and Avro Lancaster III ED862/P on July 29.7.43
Enjoyed this video very much,
very well made.I also have a plaque in my collection of airframe from JB-659
R.I.P The crew of JB659,
Kind Regards
Andrew
Hey, just thought i'd leave a message, my Grandad flew 58 flights (i think) with the pathfinders, he was a "tailgun Charlie", wish i had some more information about his time in the war but he seldom talked about it, and when he did it was more about what they got up to between flights. Do you have any information about other people who served and what they did? its just i know relatively little about what he did from the ages of 16-21,
Ive sent you a PM mate.
Great video and well edited.
All the best
John
