I have a photocopy of the page (p. 266, vol. 14, no. 3) but I would like to obtain a print or at least a high resolution scan. Can anyone help? Gregory PS - the photo is credited to the Caproni Museum, but it goes without saying that in my years with them I never ran into it! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2003 17:39:18 -0000 From: "malcolm BARRASS" To: Subject: Re: 55 Sqn Message-ID: <001101c2f22c$4c7f2900$15fd87d9@mb> This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_000E_01C2F22C.4BE7CB00 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Alan For Baldwin, Silly and Walmsley their some biographical details on my website.

I have photographs, documents, details of his father, a photo of his second wife, details of his post war career etc., etc. The man was an absolute cad, a liar, thief, and I'm convinced he faked some of his combat claims. He certainly re-wrote his last day at 210 squadron, the published facts taken from his log book do not align with reality. His second wife, was mad keen on spiritualism and the result was two books, "The Airman Who Would Not Die", and "The Return Of Captain WGR Hinchliffe". If anyone believes, perhaps they might get in contact with Ray, and see if he's prepared to tell the truth after all this time. If anyone has any questions, please line them up and I'll attempt to answer them.
