Hi Joe, do you have any info on the aircraft, Dorsal Queen ?  A friend, Howard Crull, claims to have been shot down on that aircraft instead of Command Performance.  Thanks.

Bob, Joe:

1. Has a copy of the Base map been received yet?  If not, let me know - I (also) have a copy of the (large) RAF Base map with all the buildings - not 401BG use labeled, though. There are blue-print shops here (San Francisco) that can make Xerox copies and/or reductions (black lines on white background).

2. The 613SQ. quarters are "way-south" across the road that borders the south-end of the Field. The access-road to the 613SQ joins this road (at the 401BG Monument) about the mid-point of the Base property along the road. About a mile south on the access road, you turn west, and within a few hundred yards is the 613SQ. cul-de-sac - and beyond, the buildings.
