The airplane engines of the time leaked quite a bit of oil, and flying was a very dirty profession!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101626409720349787.post-85619654426963416142009-01-15T17:29:00.000+00:002009-01-15T17:29:00.000+00:00What a beautiful story!

My RAF officer father was given a spotted neck-scarf by his girl-friend/fiance (later to become my mother)and I have a poignant photo of him and other crew members standing under their aircraft in spring 1943, proudly wearing their scarves tucked into their uniform collars. By midsummer, literally on the night of the longest day, all except my father were dead. After baling out from the burning aircraft, my father was hidden by very brave members of the Dutch resistance and their families. After six weeks he navigated an open boat back to the English coast, with another RAF pilot and some escaping Dutch resistance members. His neck-scarf brought him luck, and he married my mother six weeks later. He survived to live happily for another 40 years.elegancemaisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043236515999573762noreply@blogger.com
