Hi
I was very interested to see this article. My father, Roy "Blue" Hill, was John's navigator during John's time as second pilot then Captain at 355 Squadron. According to dad's diary, they met on the morning of 14 August 14 1944, and crewed up on the morning of 25 August 1944. They obviously did all their Ops together, as dad's logbook lists the same 300 hours / 30 Ops as John! They remained good friends and kept in close touch after the war, even going to a 355 Squadron reunion once in the 1980's (I think it was in the '80's?)
Dad passed away a couple of years ago, so it was great to see his old skipper and friend's write-up
Cheers
Adrian Hill
