F/Lt. John Saunders
Royal Air Force 221 Squadron
from:Coogee, Australia
My Dad, John Saunders was a bomber navigator on Wellingtons. He told me the story of how he was asked one time to fly a mission and would only be given the co-ordinates at the last moment. They flew 2 men to Crete to talk to the Germans. They stopped at the end of the runway with German guns on them, stayed there for a few hours and then the 2 men got back on the plane. They where not allowed to discuss the mission for 25 years I think he said. Can any body help me with this?
