Bill Legge
Royal Air Force 21 Sqd.
We have the Bill Legge's observers and gunners flying log book, his Goldfish badge and card and a couple of photos. Of note is the entry in his log of his Ventura ditching in the North Sea on the 6th December 1942 after the Eindhoven raid. This story has been well told on the BBC WW2 Peoples War site from the war recollections of Flt/Lt Albert Ricketts. I would very much like to get in touch with his son Peter Ricketts as his father and my father-in-law saw active duty together between October 1942 to September 1943 and I hope that we may find some more information from Flt Lt Ricketts memoirs. Any help contacting Peter Ricketts would be appreciated.
