    No, no - neither Cheshire or Tait were on the Raid....;)

    Further clue : the man in question was flying Mossies operationally from Little Snoring in Norfolk when he flew over to show Gibson his aircraft......

    After hours of research, I was going to say Amelia Earhart. My web source says she was found, had a sex change operation and became an Air Marshal in the RAF after the war. :vegetate:

    The History Channel is doing a show about it later this year.

    If the HC is on to it, then you know it is the absolute, unvarnished truth and worthy of being used as primary sources on someone's doctoral thesis.

    Seems like no-one else is going to have a go, so I'll take a deep breath and say : -

    H. Wick / S.Schnell / H. Hahn / J. Wurmheller

    :confused:
