Bill Legge . Royal Air Force 21 Sqd. We have the Bill Legge's observers and gunners flying log book, his Goldfish badge and card and a couple of photos. Of note is the entry in his log of his Ventura ditching in the North Sea on the 6th December 1942 after the Eindhoven raid. This story has been well told on the BBC WW2 Peoples War site from the war recollections of Flt/Lt Albert Ricketts. I would very much like to get in touch with his son Peter Ricketts as his father and my father-in-law saw active duty together between October 1942 to September 1943 and I hope that we may find some more information from Flt Lt Ricketts memoirs. Any help contacting Peter Ricketts would be appreciated.

Lt. Commander Geoffrey Legge . Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve Fleet Air Arm (d.Nov 1940) I am the younger son of Lt. Commander Geoffrey Legge RNVR who in fact owned the 50 acre site of St Merryn Aerodrome, St Merryn, Cornwall, before the war through his business together with William Rhodes Moorhouse. At the time he owned property at Harlyn Bay (which is still in the family) and kept various aircraft there including his Percival Q6 reg: G-AFFE, Whitney Straight etc which he kept in the black hanger there (which still stands today). This hangar is also where Nick Grace
rebuilt his Spitfire Mk 9 which Carolyn flies today. The Admiralty
requisitioned St Merryn airfield to become HMS Vulture II in 1940 together with the Q6. Regrettably my father was killed whilst in the Fleet Air Arm, flying a Proctor from Lee on Solent down to his old base, St Merryn. Due to bad weather, this happened somewhere near Exeter in November 1940. He is buried in the graveyard at St Merryn. As a boy I grew up at Harlyn Bay and used to cycle up to the airfield, fascinated by the aircraft, and Mother of course, knew a number of the servicemen at Camp as we called it, and we made a lot of friends there.

He was imprisoned at the Citadelle de Cambria.
Six months later he escaped by hiding in a coal truck and stayed with cousins in Paris before returning to his home in Brittany. While working in the family farm, he joined a local Resistance movement. Tired of in-fighting within the local units, eighteen months later he decided to make his way to the British Embassy in Barcelona, Spain and from there join the Free French in England. On 6th December 1942, after crossing the Pyrenees on foot, he was arrested near Gerona as an escaped prisoner of war and incarcerated in the prison camp of Miranda del Ebro.
He persuaded British embassy officials, who were reporting on conditions in the camp, that he was a French-speaking Canadian named Marcel le Goen of Quebec and in June 1943 he was released and made his way to Gibraltar where a representative of General de Gaulle arranged for his transport to England on the troopship Highland Princess. Marcel Le Guen joined the Forces Francaises Libres in London on 2nd July 1943 as a Soldier Second Class, Number 35948, attached to the FAFC l'Infanterie de l'Air, 2nd Company, lst Battalion. He was trained somewhere in England, possibly Dean Camp, Camberley, as a parachutist and took part in several campaigns in Holland and Belgium in 1944. In 1945 he was parachuted into Normandy with 21st Army Group during the invasion, fought at Arnhem and served behind enemy lines in Holland and Germany. After his demob on 1st June 1946 he joined the French Diplomatic Service. He died in Berne, Switzerland on 12th October 1958 from TB he had contracted in 1940, probably at Cambrai.

PO. William Henry Leigh . Royal Navy HMS Aurora from Edmonton, London My father, Bill Leigh, served during WW2 on HMS Aurora and was stationed, at some time, in Malta. A story he used to tell was of getting caught in a munitions dump that blew up. Lucky for him, he grabbed the first passing arm which happened to belong to a local Maltese man who knew the way out!
Sadly he died in 1960 so I have very little recollection of him. All I do know was that he was a short man with a swarthy complexion. He spoke some Spanish and he played a Spanish guitar. He was well liked.
Do you or any of your family know of him? I would love to hear.
