Happy Birthday, Andela, with many thanks and much respect for your serving the RAF during WW2. Thank God you did not end up in a communist prison after 1948 as so many Czech RAF airmen did. Your life story would be of great interest to many! Wishing good health and peace of mind! Radovan Kohout (nor related to Vera), Toronto.
