Crazy how well some of this old stuff holds up
Thanks for those memories and the additional insights to the individual and personal history behind the multitude of events surrounding WWII.
It is for the reasons of sharing the memories of your father's service to Canada and the Allies that we should never, ever forget.

Love this stuff...

Mr Wolverine...not trying to highjack your great thread, just thought I would add to it. Give me a warning shot over the bow if you want me to start my own.
Gunny.
Gun turret;
Oxygen cylinder, Engine exhaust collector ring and an oil cooler.
Horizontal Stab, L/h vertical stab and what is left of the L/h rudder. Notice impact mark at the leading edge of V stab.
Top cover and filler opening of oil tank.
Even the lockwire is still holding strong!
