Wondering if by chance anyone here has a record or knowledge of a member of my uncle's Lancaster crew in C Flight, 75 (NZ) Sqn, based at Mepal from 02 Dec 1944 to April 1945.

Noel Ridley (Jim) HOOPER, Flight Sergeant, RAF, 1336483, 196925 (Bomb Aimer)

I would be very keen to make contact with any family members interested in the information that we've gathered about the crew of HK601 JN Dog.

Cheers, and thanks, Chris

Hi Chris

I came across Jim when we both worked for BT in the 50's and last saw him about 8 years ago when he visited a friend of mine. This friend has remained in touch with Jim and will send me his recollections which I will pass on to you. Sadly, Jim has severe Dementia and is in hospital according to his wife.

Regards

David.

Hi David,

Thanks very much this is wonderful - both to make the connection, and that Jim is still with us  - I have emailed you. I've also passed on the news to Jim's only surviving crewmate, his Flight Engineer Doug Williamson, who is very much fit and well here in Auckland. 

Would love to hear anything about Jim, and hope I can pass on a copy of the large file of info that we have gathered over the past year to his family.

Best regards,

Chris
