What a wonderful site. Thank you to all who have contributed to it. After many years, this site has allowed me to learn the fate of a relative killed in a tragic accident at the beginning of WWII.

My father was Leslie Robertson Laird who was an Air Gunner flying from Coastal Command bases on the Moray Firth area. If anyone has any knowledge, please let me know. My parents separated when I was a youngster, so any details I have are sketchy. Thank you,

What a wonderful site. I am the proud owner of Wing Commander Ronald Kellett's yacht, which he bought new in the 60's. Through this site I was able to make contact with his children and send them pictures of their old boat!

Thanks for this site - it has helped me resolve a mystery in researching my father's career in Bomber Command. He served with 576 squadron at Fiskerton in November 1944 before transferring with several other crews t0 150 Squadron at Hemswell. His last flight from Fiskerton was in NN750, which was lost on 29 December 44 in a crash at Manston in Kent. Squadron records are patchy but I wasn't sure whether one crew member had survived (he did, F/S Lake), and I couldn't decipher one of the names, but now I can complete my history thanks to your website. In memory of the six who did not survive.

My cousin, Richard Kitchen, was second pilot on 9484. He was born in 1924 and I have his full service history. My uncle, also Richard Kitchen, died on the Somme, 10 July 1916, and is named on the Thiepval Memorial. My middle name is Richard and I was born in 1943 (my mother's maiden name is Kitchen). I have been to the Somme but not yet to Erkenschwick, Gelsenkirchen Huellen cemetery, nor Reichswald Forest BMC. I hope to soon. Ian Gerrard
