    Hallo all

    I wonder if anyone has come across a memorial to the
    people of Holland who helped our airmen get back to Blighty?

    The thought struck me after watching "One Of Our Aircraft Is
    Missing..." and if there was ever an opportunity for a memorial
    I'd think this was it.

    While googling, I found this, which may be of interest to some.
    I'll post the link in the Air section too


    best to all

    Very dangerous work. It was calculated that on average for every 2 men that were brought back to their own lines 1 resistance fighter paid for it with his life.
