Hi,

Looking to identify the Master Bombers for a daylight raid on Calais on the late afternoon of September 20th 1944. There was two AP's, 6A and 6B, M/B on 6A call sign Mamba1, 6B Nortgate 1.

Any pointers welcome.

Thank you.

Steve

Hi Richard,

Thank you.

Out of interest, was he the M/B on the operation against Calais on September 26th 1944 also ?

Kind regards

Steve
