My name is Doug Yoole. I live in a small town on the mid-north coast of NSW Australia. My connection to the squadron is via my grandfather Sgt Douglas Jack who served with the squadron in 1941. He and his crew were lost late in that year when their aircraft was shot down over the North Sea.
I've long been interested in the squadron's history, but most particularly since Harold Batchelder DFM mentioned my grandfather in the TV documentary "The Air War over Germany". Fortunately for me, I surfed into this site whilst doing some research on Mr Batchelder.
I am also a keen student of the life of the great aviator and humanitarian Leonard Cheshire VC.
I extend my compliments to the webmaster Chris and all other contributors. It is a wonderful thing you have done here; A great site and a great memorial.
Doug.
