from Bomber Command book, 1941.

Thats a cracking photo.Stuff like this is just priceless.
I`ve got Max Hasting`s history of Bomber Command up here Ian.
I`d happily send you it down if you want.I`m having a clear out and would welcome the chance to send it to a good home…
Agree with Andy with regard to the photos.Their life expectancy,especially in the early days, wasn`t up to much,was it ?
Thanks both. Alex, that’s a realy kind offer, thank you. Only last weekend I was leafing thru a copy in waterstones, was on the verge of buying it! what a coincidence. I’ll send you my address, thanks again.
