One More Priceless Artefact

This was sent by Peter Smith with this message…

Hi Pierre,

I believe Johnny Rivaz took it down after the last op was flown.

Johnny Rivaz, by taking down this precious artefact, has without knowing it kept this Mosquito Squadron operational forever.

    The connection finally worked, so happy to see this. I know I still have catching up to do, but I look forward to future posts.

      Got a message you are now a subscriber.
      I wrote you a comment about Flight Lieutenant Thomas’s nephew who helped me in my search for Eugène’s 33 missions.
      I will post another article about F/L Thomas using the scoreboard so people can understand the symbols.

      One day someone will send something related to George and your father.
      This blog will live on forever.

    The “That’s All Folks” table was framed and displayed proudly in my home for many years. My father was John Jacobs.
