My grandfather was a engineer and squadron leader in the RAF when the war began. He died a long time ago so this story is based on facts from my grandma
He knew all the names of the men in this squadron and could play any wind instrument especially 'Paper and Comb' and tin whistle.
He repaired planes in the war, and when Paris had been liberated he was among the group of British who went in.
As the germans were driven back he followed into Belgium. I do not know what he did in belgium or france after the liberation but I know in Germany he went into intelliegence questioning german who were captured or something like that.
