Traumatised

As far as shooting is concerned I would imagine farm boys would use 12 gauge shot guns, or perhaps a .410.

Attached is a picture of my Dad (on left) at Skellingthorpe after some rough shooting on the airfield. Always amazes me that they were allowed to posses guns on base.

 

Some more books, James, now that I'm looking at my shelves:

Only Birds and Fools - J. Norman Ashton DFC
Five of the Many - Steve Darlow, can't believe I forgot that one!
Battle Order 204 - Christobel Mattingley, reads like a novel but is a true story.
G-for-George - Michael Nelmes and Ian Jenkins
Pathfinder - Denis Warner

This thread is like a BC bibliography!

 

Thanks again very much Andy

I purchased "G-for-George" during my visit to the AVM a while ago. It's a great read (even if it only flew 89 ops out of the suppsed 90).

 

"only" - LOL.

DL's .410 comment sounds interesting.

Cheers for that Kyt

 

Okay, but it might take sometime, so will have to do it at the weekend, when I have the time.

Bang goes my plan for a lazy weekend!

 

I'm sure you can make up time next weekend!! ^^
