One of the best videos I have seen on this site. Good footage and a careful choice of music. What made the film was the gravesstones at the end, how enlightening, That really brought the story home. I often find my attention drawn to those who are forgotten at times or remembrance and hope that these men are remembered by all at such times.

My father went through his log book with me, and throughout there were people he crewed with, who later "went out and didn't come back" with other crews. Coastal Command lost more men per capita than even Bomber Command. There are a number of great books. Try Ivan Southall's "They Shall Not Pass Unseen", about 461Sqn RAAF for a day to day account. I have an extensive collection of books, DVD's and videos, as well as photos from his war service. Ross

There were Sunderlands that went out on patrol in the north atlantic and that was it...the last anyone saw of them ...no distress messages.. no wreckage found.. no nothing... just gone and not just one or two..plenty of them..theres a book about them and it lists them all .Worth a look and then think about it and remember them
