43 years old, always been interested in WW2 history and esp. the planes of WW2 and air combat (Primarily Europe). Other interests: BMW motorcycles, photography, fishing, reading, and improving my english.
Welcome to the forum Galland. have to say your English is pretty damn good. Which aircraft and which areas of the air war are you particularly focusing on?
Thanks for the welcome and the kind compliment on my english laguange skills. I try to keep up. My main read these days primarily concerns the Battle of Britain, but I'm positive that other areas of the air war in Europe'll interest me too, after this.
Hi Galland, Did you know that there were 69 Aussies of the Royal Australian Air Force buried in Denmark during WW2? They were also buried in Norway (26), Sweden (10), Iceland (5) and Faroe Islands (1). Cheers Geoff
I did know that there were RAF guys buried in Denmark (- and germans too), but didn't know about the Aussies.
Hi Garland, A belated welcome to the forum. I am sure that you will find it very useful here as we do have a lot of members here with a lot of WW2 knowledge. If your interested i do have the complete set of Bomber Command Losses of WW2 and also Fighter Command Losses of WW2 so if you need any imformation please do not hesitate to ask me. Cheers Sniper
Hi Sniper. What's next - you start calling me "Judy"? Never mind, thanks for your welcome and your kind offer. It sounds like something that's hard to refuse. I'd appreciate any kind of info, airforce-related, of the Allied and German forces during WW2. PM me and let's work something out.
Opps Sorry Galland, wasn't looking at what i was typing.

Bomber Command Squadron No, Aircraft Type, Aircraft No, Operation, Crew list including ranks and if killed, prisoner of war etc, Details of the operation. Fighter Command Squadron No, Fighter Type, Fighter No, Type of operation, Pilots Name If i can help any of our members i'm only too willing to do what i can. Sniper
