Message 1 - Bennets Beavers

Posted on: 05 October 2005 by rafbbennet

F/O Bob Bennet(DFC) was my father. He flew many operations over Germany and France in Lancaster PA990:UM-R2. I have had the opportunity and greatest pleasure to meet many of the wonderful people associated with RAF Wickenby through the organization called the 'Wickenby Register'. I think these people are the salt of the Earth - the most wonderful people on the planet.
