I have a Bomber Command logbook and photos. Much of the information came via a gunner colleague, Jack Watson, after my father died. They were part of the Lancaster bomber crew. Both Jack and Bill were awarded several medals of recognition.
Stories were told about sorties where other crews did not return. Most of the stories that were shared were humorous, demonstrating laughter in adversity.
