218262 F/Lt. George Mitchell Royal Air Force 9th Squadron from:Canada I entered McDonalds in Barry, Ontario at 06:00 hrs. on 5th May 2014. Flt. Lt. George Mitchell (91 yrs. old) was having breakfast in his veteran’s uniform which he does every morning so I sat with him and began chatting. This continued for the next 6 weeks and I was able to learn this much about him. He joined the RAF at 18 and trained in Moose Jaw - Saskatchewan. After graduation, he became captain of a Lancaster (call sign unknown) and was posted to Number 9 Squadron RAF. He remained with them throughout WWII and is credited with 34 trips over Europe - mainly from RAF Lossimouth. Notably, he participated in the 3 Tirpitz raids and the 1,000 bomber raids on Dresden, Hamburg and Cologne. He received a citation for dropping food supplies to the Dutch People. George finished the war as a Lancaster instructor. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
