AJ-G was Guy Penrose Gibsons Leader of 617sqn.
Lancaster AJ-S flown by Pilot Officer Louis Burpee, which was shot down in Holland in wave 3 of the Dambusters Raid.
Ive just realised how ever that its number is that of AJ-N

I picked up model building from one of my brothers at a younger age. He still remembers the day I took his prized "Memphis Belle" B-17 model out to the back yard and blew it up with Black Cat firecrackers.
But in my defense it was a little boy's imagination that took over and in my mind I was flying the B-17 over war torn Germany on the way to a bombing mission while trying to survive the horrible flak of enemy guns and dodging German Bf-109's
It was a glorious mission until a direct hit blew the plane in half.
I think my brother chased me around the house a dozen times.

I was planning to have my own fleet of WWII model planes, never really worked out! I bought a bunch of model supplies including an airbrush, but haven't had as much time for it as I thought I would. I've only managed to build one so far, and that's my personal favorite B-25. It looked ok for a first time job I thought, but it fell of it's shelf a couple of weeks ago and lost a prop. I'm hoping to reattach it.
