Hi ! I have a question which I hope can be answered by the knowledgeable folk who frequent these forums.
How many 'Aircrew' members of 488 WWII European theatre survive ?
My dad, Leonard James Wyman, is in his 95th year and he served with 488 from just before D-Day to the Squadron's disbandment. Dad was RAF but his Pilot was a New Zealander, Andy Shaw. They flew together for a Tour with 85 Sqn Nightfighters followed by separate tours as Instructors then back together for Service on 488. (We know that Andy passed on some years ago.)
My question is not intended for making any contact with anyone but just a general enquiry to try to establish if Dad is the last surviving member of WWII 488 Nightfighter Aircrew or are there any others.
Thanks in anticipation of answers.

I am out of UK for 10 days but will be visiting Dad upon my return. I'll ask him then.
