Flt Sgt. John Stodd
Royal Air Force Bomb Aimer 101 Squadron
Hi. I'm friends with a wonderful Guy John.He was a Bomb Aimer 101 Squadron. He completed 3 yes & 3 Operational tours.
His first by the age of 19 with the 101,numerous missions with Cigar over Euorpe, Stettin, Dusseldorf, Etc.
He survived 3 crash landing, one on return to Ludford Magna.
A true heo as far as I'm concerned, very modest etc.
I quote "all I did was lay on my belly".
Three of the original crew are still about. The Navigator married his sister. The Upper Gunner ended up in Oz.
I read his log book over and over. What a Legend.
Ended up in Pathfinders and qualified as a Bomb Aimer Instructor.
