Rob Davis's site is a 'must visit' for all with any interest in Bomber Command. |
| Strike Hard,
Strike Sure (Greg Harrison) |
Greg says he
has always had something of an interest in Britain's
aviation heritage of the 1939-45 period, but it was
whilst he was researching his Grandfather's service
history with 100 Squadron that his interest centered on
Bomber Command. He has records
of all the types that operated with the Command between
the years 1939 and 1945, but by far the most extensive
records relate to the two Avro planes, the Lancaster and
the Manchester, and to the Handley Page Halifax. |
| Bob says: "Whilst at
Rochester Air Show in 1978, I watched as the Battle of
Britain Memorial Flight were performing their fly-past,
and was rooted to the spot completely unable to move as
the Lancaster PA474 flew overhead. ... I am now in the process of compiling a
database which I hope will eventually log the service
history of every aircraft that flew with Bomber Command,
each airman that flew in it, every raid in which it was
involved, any published photograph of the individual
aircraft, along with the details of the ultimate end of
the aircraft and final resting place or memorial location
of every aircrew member that made the ultimate sacrifice.
