Hello Ken,

 

Your time with the Lincoln's & Canberra's must have been an experience. Hope you can share some stories with us. I was wondering if your local museum is the Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum.

 

Regards,

 

Willie.

Hello again, Ken,

 

I've put a post in the Warbirds forum looking for a bit of information on a MK111A reflector gunsight. I'd assume that they were out of service by the time you were involved with the Lincolns, but was wondering if you knew something about them. Any information at all would be greatly valued.

 

Regards,

 

Willedoo.

Hi again.

If you check 'Aviation humour and stories' you will find Tales from the RAF. Enjoy!
