FO Robert Wiliam John Letters . Royal Air Force 90 Squadron (d.30th May 1943) This is information I received from my late mother, who was engaged to Bob Letters during the war.
Bob then asked the Radio Operator to contact the Germans in Northern France to direct them to a place away from homes, so they could land. The Germans directed them to a field on the edge of Cambrai. Bob told the crew to bail out, some did, but the Radio Operator, I think, was one who did not. Just about when they landed the Sterling exploded and the remains of the bodies were scattered. The people of Cambrai were told the story and after the war they made a memorial in gratitude. When Bob's remains were found they were buried in a local cemetery.

William Letts . Royal Navy HMS Vulture from Northam, Nr Bideford, North Devon I am a writer trying to find out about HMS Vulture during the years 1942-52 for a book I am writing. The person in question is now deceased, Bill Letts, who was based there during these years. I thought Vulture was a ship but find it is a naval airbase. Does this mean he couldn't have sailed on a ship called this? (I know there was an SS Vulture that sailed, but that was before these dates and he was on HMS not SS.) If anyone can help me understand a bit more about this, I would be most grateful. Also, does anyone know of a naval school at nearby Newquay for the children of naval personnel during this time and later? Any help would be most welcome.

CPO Kenneth Stanley Lever . Royal Navy Sick Berth Attendant HMS Penelope from Rochdale My Father was taken into the navy as a sick berth attendant, but was actually wanted for his background in engineering. At the time the Navy had quota's and the officer recruiting him said he would obviously be retrained given his background education (he was later a P/O trained as a diver, and CPO articifer serving on HMS Montclaire in the Pacific)
However, he was onboard Penelope in Malta as a sick berth attendant whilst the ship was in drydock. She was constantly being bombed and most of the crew were ashore sheltering. During the many raids the ship was running short of antiaircraft shells, my Dad strapped on a shell carrier and brought ammunition from ashore for the 5 inch HA guns. The gunnery officer had him recommended for a "mentioned in despatches" This was sent by the captain to the admiral in Malta, who forwarded it to London where it was conveniently forgotten, or disallowed. In the book 'Our Penelope' his name has the asterix mentioned in despatches, but only in the book given to the crew. The same book on general release the mention is omitted.
