Hello all,
A quick few words of introduction. My name is Max, I'm named after my father's best friend who was killed on 3 March 1945 whilst flying Lancaster ME453 attacking the Dortmund-Ems canal, he was with 467 squadron RAAF based at Waddington Lincolnshire. Since 2005 I've been researching the circumstances of that night from many viewpoints - the crews of 467 and 463 squadrons sharing the airfield, 5 Group (involved directly in the attack), 100 Group providing the ECM screens and also of the Nachtjagd forces opposing the bomber stream. My research is summarised in my current website (www.ordinarycrew.co.uk) though I'm designing a new one right now to better represent the material that I have collected. I also build model aircraft; presently I'm restricting myself to those flown by any of the crew members during their training, again including the Luftwaffe side. Currently on the workbench is a De Havilland DH 89A Dominie used during radio operator training at Yatesbury though next in line is a Bf110E flown by Heinz Schnaufer in his early Nachtjagd days.
