My father was a member of the RCAF, 418 City of Edmonton Mosquito Intruder Squadron. He said he was a Radar Officer and worked on some of the systems installed on the aircraft. While he talked about about the exploits of the squadron, he never talked about the equipment other than that GEE was one of those systems. And he would go to remove equipment from aircraft that made it back to England but had to do wheels up landings on or near the coast. Sometimes he had to be escorted into and out of mine fields to recover that equipment. This was very interesting to me as it was great to see some of what he worked on.

I was very fortunate to work at the care home where flight lieutenant George Prichard lived before he sadly passed away last year. He worked on mossies and the radar that was used in them, he had many wonderful memories which he was able to share about his time in the RAF with 151 squadron in Predannack.
