    His father had an interesting career. The Peerage doesn't mention Harry, only his sister, but don't want to see this back on ebay with our research to jack up the price

    All, Wow .….

    Thank you for all your time and help... Some great leads there. And I have no desire to sell the log book as bought it for my collection.

    Thanks again, Danny

    Harry's family may trade you their info for a copy of the logbook.
    I believe he had previously posted on RAFCommands site
