Hi Phill,
Chris Goss' book on 102 Sqn.,'It's Suicide But It's Fun' has a full page portrait photograph of S/L Fisher,a paragraph about his wartime career and a personal account by a member of 102 Sqn. who knew S/L Fisher and his crew.I also have a copy of the citation for S/L Fisher's DFM.It is possible to contact Chris Goss via the forum at 12oclockhigh.net-he may have more details or contacts with S/L Fisher's family.
Hope this helps,Mark.
