He was in 420 sqn killed 5 Mar 43 on an Op to Essen. Looks like they had a 2nd dickie on the trip as well. They were in a Wellington X with 6 people. The normal crew was 5. Their Wellington was the 1st type X lost to the 420 sqn.

These are Sand Table models, German, made to plan and simulate battles and attacks... these came from the estate of a Canadian that was in the 3rd Anti-Tank Regiment, he was awarded the DSM. These models were made by the famous Goebel Porcelain factory, they are 1/100 scale.
This is a named Canadian Navy Helmet, I got it from the fellow it was issued to. He stated that when the HMCS Camrose was splinter camo'ed their helmets were as well.

This Special Landing Force helmet was a bringback and found in Saskatchewan.
