I lived in the same street as a member of 24 Squadron. I got to know Lindsay as I went to school with his son and he (Lindsay) became a life long friend until his death a few years ago. He had first done a tour of duty with No 11 Squadron on Catalina flying boats as a flight engineer. He was then retrained as a flight engineer on B24s serving with 24 Squadron and as part of mixed crews with the 380th Bombardment Group.
He had many interesting stories to tell and I listened closely as there is nothing like hearing it from someone who was there.
