Very fitting tribute to the men that took part in that raid, and for all the brave aviators of bomber command.

It's high time that these men are honoured for their courage with their long overdue campaign medals. Campaign Medal Bomber Command

Salute!

Very fitting tribute indeed...

Scanned this one.


Gibson's final resting place



"Once (I think it was 31st aug. 1940), I was in a fight with four Hurricanes over Dover.
I was back over the channel when I saw another Hurricane coming from Calais, trailing white smoke, obviously in a bad way.
I flew up alongside him and escorted him all the way to England and waved goodbye.
A few weeks later the same thing happened to me.
That would never have happened in Russia - never". (Erich Rudorffer - 109 pilot)
