Typhoon Pilot Autobiography

Postby ActionArt » Wed Sep 30, 2009 3:27 am

Here is an autobiography of one of the Typhoon pilots that came to visit me, Harry Hardy. It's really worth a look! Some great stories :)

Brilliant Len

Your Pilot friend Harry Hardy moved to Melsbroek (B58) in Belgium on September 6th 1944, my father was a Draughtsman with the Royal Signals Regiment attached to the 2nd Tactical Air Force and was involved in the rebuilding of that very airfield.

Thanks for a great read! :ymapplause:

Your welcome Dave. I know I really enjoyed reading it. Interesting about your father working on the same airfield.
