210148 F/Sgt. Matthew William Reid Royal Air Force 619 Sqn. from:Renfrew, Scotland I am afraid I do not have a story to give as Dad, Matthew Reid spoke very little of the war. What he tell me was that he had great friends, a great crew, and flew on a beautiful aircraft. I do know that some of the crew were South African. I have his log book and knew that he flew all missions with Lt (later Capt) Meter with the exception of one mission - Operation Dresden, where he flew with a F/Lt Willets. He flew 28 missions in total. He was with 1654 HCU from 26 Jun 44 - 20 Aug 44; No5 LFS 01 Sep 44 - 17 Sep 44; 619 Sqn from 17 Sep 44 - 26 May 45; and 617 Sqn from 26 May 45 - 20 Jul 45. That is all the information I have. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
