Many happy landings
The following story was written by my father, Ray Mitchell, in 1995,
for the newsletter of 139 Wing Association. 1995 was the 50th
anniversary of VE Day, and also my parents 50th wedding anniversary.
Called up in 1942, Ray had met my mother whilst working in the Air
Ministry. He courted her throughout the rest of the war, until marriage
in June 1945, a month after D-day. Final de-mob, and my arrival, came in
1946! 2005 will be their diamond-wedding anniversary. 139 Wing
Association has now disbanded; living memory of WW2 will soon pass into
history and be left to historians and others to argue about. It is
important that those who were there tell their story.
