Rae. R. J. Simpson ex R.N.Z.A.F who was on the Halifax 5 LL122 KNY that crashed on the 9th Dec 1943, he is the only survivor and has written a dedication towards that event that has left him deeply scared today. The plane was called the Z-Zebra, the crew were:
Charlie Grob R.A.A.F(Rear Gunner)
"Junior"Hemming R.C.A.F(Mid Upper-Gunner)
Jimmy Clark R.A.F (Wire-less Operator)
Les Ford R.A.F(Flight Engineer)
Geoff Sharp R.A.F (Navigator)

Rae now lives in N.Z,and I think he is in one off the above photos at the top 3rd row forth one in. He is now 82 years and still bear the scars off that crash. I am his care giver and have my own family but love all the memories off the history as he tells it.
