Bernard passed away on the 28th Feb 2012, and we pass on our continued best wishes to his three children, Mary, Anthony and Julie.

I would like to thank Mary for sharing her dad's life with us all. In the coming weeks I will be adding more here, but for now some photo's with the crew he served with.

ORB's have him flying in Roy Dodd's crew, first on Squadron May 1944 and leaving in November 1944.

The crew as we know it were:

S/L Roy Dodd - Pilot
F/O Stan Ellis - Nav
F/O Dick Pitts - B/A
W/OBob Loffler (not sure correct spelling) - W/Op
W/O Jim Dovey - Mid Upper Gunner
W/O. Vic Guy - Rear Gunner
F/O Bernard Lea - F/Eng

Bernard is third from the right in the picture below, and second from the right in the picture with no hats on. If you know who is who, PLEASE get in contact with us, thanks.

 

Don't forget to hit the photo's to make them go larger..
