Jonky, Just to confirm that your grandfather was a Wireless operator/air gunner, and not a navigator. That is why he is being awarded a prize at No. 3 Wireless School, Winnipeg, Manitoba earlier in the thread. The photo must have been taken about October 1942, and he may have graduated in late December 1942, or perhaps in Feb/March 1943. David D Yes my grandfather was a wireless operator air Gunner. I never knew what my grandfather truly did how's things like this was never spoken about as you can imagine. I understand my uncle Lindsay mum's brother is after the digital photographs of my grandfather back then when he was awarded top of his class and it also has opened new Avenues and you doors for more information that I never knew existed. I do have the book from Captain McGreal A Noble chance. It is a superb book and a great read and I am happy I purchased it before Christmas last year, as my mum's Christmas presen. The flying Sunderland bummer Mark IIl model built by me and given to my mother as a Christmas gift in memory of my grandfather.
