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 (currently reading a large tome about Lancasters) but also about my dad (a mechanical engineer in WW2) who landed in Normandy on D-Day +4 with the Canadians (he was in the Middlesex Regiment) and went through Belgium and Holland before ending up in north Germany; and my grandfather, captain in the Merchant Navy, who was torpedoed by U-37 off the African coast early in the war; also my gt aunt who was in the WAAF and was with SHAEF HQ in nothwest Europe from not long after D-Day. She spent time in Paris and then in Germany.
I know you're mainly about WW2 aircraft on this site but it is an area I know nothing about other than the dabbling I've done while trying to find out more about 101 and Ludford Magna, so I won't bore you further with my excuses for only dipping in and out ...
Cheers!

PS - Once I've got more of the ORBs for 101 transcribed, I'll put a link in here to let you know where they can be located on the web.
