Alan refers to the failures and successes of the commanders during this period: General Wavell, General Auckinleck and Montgomery. Alan was classed as fitter, part of ground crew. Alan subsequently sailed to Bari in Italy and then on to Foggia. He talks of going to find an aircraft which had crashed in the mountains. He did not see his family for four years. He returned to Foggia and then went back to Egypt, initially to RAF Shallufa where he was impressed with his first Lancaster. Alan describes the inspections carried out. Alan recounts a couple of his wartime experiences and the sad loss of a 21 year old wireless operator/air gunner.]]> Helen Durham]]> IBCC Digital Archive]]> Sally Coulter]]> Pending revision of OH transcription]]> eng]]> Sound]]> Royal Air Force]]> Egypt]]> Great Britain]]> Italy]]> Sierra Leone]]> Tunisia]]> North Africa]]> Egypt--Suez]]> England--Lincolnshire]]> Italy--Foggia]]> Italy--Bari]]> Egypt--Cairo]]> IBCC Digital Archive]]> Photograph]]> Royal Air Force]]> In the second photograph the altar is viewed from further back.
