Thank you all for the welcome back. I work at the University in Glasgow and will watch out for Jan on my travels around the city!! I'm going to carry on with my wee project of transcribing the ORBs for 101 and I will check back here regularly. I'll be doing further research about 101 squadron...

Sorry for the long gap in posts (understatement if ever there was one!!) ... and belated thanks for the welcome. I wish I could put it down to an excess of G&T but unfortunately life intervened! I do a bit of work on another couple of sites (sacrilege I hear you say) and am looking forward to...

Jane - I've put a message on the forum in reply to your post about 101 Squadron and your uncle "Batt" - I'm so pleased to hear from you and apologise for the delay in getting in touch. I only found the post a few minutes ago. If you'd like to email me, my addresses are: e.turnerATadmin.gla.ac.uk...

John The short answer is no - not yet. It's going to take a while and I've only just got back to it following an enforced break ... From the information I got from Robin who did the ORBs for 56 squadron, it could take me a long time - he reckoned it took him 3-4 years! I plan to continue...

James I'd be very interested in information that your grandfather might have about life at Ludford Magna back in 1943/45. My gt uncle was the bomb aimer on DV276 (SR-R) and his crew were posted there in September of 1943 following training. I was interested to hear that your grandfather lived...

Jane Firstly many apologies for not being in touch sooner. I found your post about 5 minutes ago and was stunned to find someone who had such a close connection to my mum's uncle Allan. I'll send you a PM with contact details. I really had no expectation of finding anyone who might know...

Since my last post, I've done quite a bit of searching and have been interested to read the posts here. My mum's uncle flew in SR-R (DV276) which was one of the 7 planes lost from 101 on the night of the Nuremberg raid. Allan Henry Ross was on his 20th operation that night and was shot down and...

Hi there I came across this site while browsing and searching for info on RAF Bomber Command during WW2 - specifically 101 Squadron based at Ludford Magna, in Lincolnshire. That search led me to someone on here with a post which I've replied to - hope he's still around! Anyway - your site...

Hi there - I've only just come across your site and have spent an hour or so looking around. I actually arrived looking for info about Bombers and came across this post! My dad was actually there at the time, in the Nijmegen/Arnhem area, he was closer to Remagen. He actually landed in...

Scipio Not sure if you've had any more success. I am searching for info about Ludford Magna myself. I'm new to this site but will post here the links I've so far found - no doubt someone will tell me if I go wrong! RAF Brize Norton - 101 Squadron - this is an official RAF site. RAF...
