Hi Ken,

My grandfather, Paul Piche flew with your Dad in 443 Squadron. I, along with Art Horrell's great niece are writing a book about 443 Squadron. Please feel free to contact if you have information about your Dad that you would like included in the book. We are looking for other 443 members from Gander days. In answer to the original post, Alex Hunter is still alive but unfortunately, Les Foster died of cancer.
