MESSAGES

DAVID McCASH.. Picture of David McCash when he served on HMS King George V. He also served on HMS Revenge.

ABLE SEAMAN JOHN BAKER... I wondered if anyone out there served on the King George V during the time she was in Tokyo Bay. My name is Able Seaman John Baker. It would be great to hear from anyone who remembers the goodwill visit march through Melbourne and taking the Duke of Gloucester and his family to Hobart. 

NORMAN FIELDHOUSE... My grandfather served on HMS King George V and took many photographs of the crew and ship which are still in the family. I am trying to find out if there is a crew list available for me to look at, so I can see exactly what he did while serving. Unfortunately, he died a few years ago, and I am now trying to find out as much as I can about life aboard the ship. 

AB RON GAZZANIGA:  My brother served on HMS King George V in the Pacific 1943 onwards. He passed away in 2001. Does anyone old shipmates remember him.  

THOMAS SCOTT:  My Grandad was a Royal marine who served on HMS Duke of York and HMS King George V in Oct / Nov 1941. I would love to hear from someone who may remember him.

Half Price - £1900.00 		At 3.30am on the 23rd June 1945, a Dakota of 357 (special duties) Squadron took off from Mingaladon airfield nr. Rangoon , to travel the 600 miles, 300 of them behind enemy lines, to rescue a downed American Liberator crew deep in the jungles of Siam .  The Dakota was flown by pilot Fl Lt. Larry Lewis, who already held the DFM awarded to him for 33 ops as a rear gunner on Wellingtons in 1941. Two crews had already failed when Lewis was asked to attempt this hazardous mission. Flying between 5,000 - 6,000ft he flew over The Hump, a ridge of mountains running down the spine of Burma . Local villagers had cleared a rough airstrip 800yds long with Lewis finding it by the time dawn broke. With monsoon clouds gathering, the Liberator crew aboard and the Dakota sinking in the wet ground, he managed, just, to get airborne. Flying at zero feet and looking out for Japanese Zero fighters Lewis took a different course back. Although being fired on from the ground they managed to make it all the way to the airfield at Dum Dum nr. Calcutta , India . Lewis was awarded an immediate DFC. By the end of the war he had completed 63 ops, held the rank of Squadron Leader with his service from 1938-1945, and was awarded the Air Efficiency Medal.
