I first came into contact with Derek when he left a message on the sites Guest Book back in August 2006. Derek is the current Secretary of the 206 Squadron Association and he was interested in the story of Ken. Derek himself was in Coastal Command back in 1963 and completed 3 tours of duty in 206 Squadron as a Squadron Navigator then Navigation Leader.

In November 2006 Derek distributed the 1/2 yearly 206 Squadron Newsletter within which was a section on Ken, see the link on the left hand side for the whole newsletter.
