Interviewer: And we so often hear that about the strong bond of friendship that develops.
It’s hard to explain. You had to, you know, experience it. And the irony of my three friends that went to 6 Group, they were all killed on different raids on different days and the irony is in ’91 when the big reunion of air force in Winnipeg, I went out for that and I found out that the three of them are buried in the same cemetery in Germany. Sad. I remember in Bournemouth of being on parade and the parade, whoever it was, he said, “I’m gonna tell you your chances. Look to your right and look to your left. This time next year there will only be one of you!” And Johnny MacLay (sp) was on my right and Mel Orr was on my left and that prophecy came out one hundred percent.
