In fact we are quite good friends, and Don and his wife Ailsa have entertained my partner Rachel and I for dinner on a number of occasions. We spent the afternoon visiting them today only this time I had the laptop and microphones handy... And boy oh boy can he talk! The interview recording goes for more than two hours, by far the longest of those I've collected so far. And there is never a dull moment in it. Don's war followed much of the "standard" path for Australians in Bomber Command: he was in the Militia when war was declared, transferring to the Royal Australian Air Force a few months later. He completed his pilot training in Australia before going to the UK via the USA. He went through a further succession of training units before being posted to 578 Squadron on Halifaxes at RAF Burn, North Yorkshire, from which he completed his first tour of operations. After a stint as an instructor pilot at an Operational Training Unit he went to 466 Squadron, where he'd done one trip when the war in Europe ended. Don told me of some amazing experiences: crashing a Tiger Moth on his second solo, a close call in a Whitley, and seeing the invasion fleet below on the morning of D-Day. And then there was the lighter side of life: absconding from a transit camp in the USA to visit New York, serving Christmas lunch at RAF Moreton-in-Marsh in 1944 and a particularly memorable leave in London where he met the Queen at a theatre show, queue-jumped a group of American GIs at a hotel and ending up with the crystal glass he's holding in this photo, purloined from the famous Strand Palace hotel. Don finished the war with a Distinguished Flying Cross (he still has the invitation letter from the Investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace) and earlier this year was awarded a French Legion of Honour.

Royal Australian Air Force veteran John McCredie, a 99 SquaThe third of my interview subjects for the International Bomber Command Centre's Digital Archive, I spoke to John this morning. He served in the Australian Militia for the first few years of the war before joining the RAAF and training as a pilot. He was sent to the UK for further training and flew two "Nickels" over France before then being posted to India where he flew Liberators on operations. He crash landed in a Wellington at OTU in England, bailed out of his Liberator (as a second pilot) after it ran out of fuel returning from an operation and was badly shot up on another operation, for which he was awarded a DFC. He finished the war flying transports. Quite an eventful war, then. John's extremely well-spoken and the three and a half hours I spent with him flew by.

Like many of his generation he had followed the adventures of the pioneer aviators of the 1920s and 1930s with avid interest - he even saw Bert Hinkler land in Brisbane on one occasion. But poor eyesight in his right eye scuppered those dreams and when war came he instead became a rear gunner. Joe flew 25 operations as a rear gunner with 50 Squadron, Bomber Command, during 1943 and 1944. This included most of the deadly Battle of Berlin period. Indeed, he flew to 'The Big City' on ten occasions. It was while returning from Berlin on 25 March 1944 that something fortunate happened, though it would not have felt that way at the time. He remembers seeing "something" from his rear turret at 11 o'clock high, and then he saw nothing more. He had been hit, probably by flak, in the right eye. There was no other damage to the aircraft and no other injuries to the rest of the crew. Someone cut him out of his turret and after they landed safely back at Skellingthorpe he went to hospital where doctors could not save his eye. He's had a glass one ever since. Why was it fortunate? It was what troops in the trenches of WWI called a "Blighty" wound - not life-threatening, but it got you a ticket home. And the eye that Joe lost was his 'bad' one anyway. Joe was taken off ops, considered unfit for futher flying. The rest of his crew were shot down and killed on another operation a matter of weeks later. I interviewed Joe yesterday as part of the International Bomber Command Centre's Digital Archive. Strobist: I forgot my flash bracket so my speedlight and shoot-through brolly are being held up right of camera by Joe's daughter Dawn.
