Douglas Gordon Vine
Royal Air Force 550 Squadron
I was a pilot flight engineer in 582 Squadron, one of the three remaining members of my crew. I also served in 550 Squadron, at North Killingholm. I flew 17 operations in all, was on the Dresden raid, and also remember dropping food to the people of Rotterdam.
I recently returned to Enstone, Oxfordshire, where I had trained, and the owner insisted on letting me fly one of his aircraft, the first time I had done so since 1945.
