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.

I am the nephew of F/O Peter Biollo PB253, I too have also served but in a much less chaotic time. Peacekeeping MIO Operation Desert Shield. Thank you for opening a door to the past that has been amazing to read about. These men and women were hero's to freedom and eventually peace.

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

This means so much to me and I never met Leslie. The family always felt his loss and he was there in every conversation: 'Our Les...' and 'your Uncle Leslie...'I only wish my father could have seen the website and that Leslie, like all those other lads who didn't get a chance to live out their lives are not forgotten. Thank you so very much for creating this tribute. It is lovely.
