Thanks must firstly go to the families of airmen who have kindly contacted me, without which this website would not be as complete.

Thanks also to the following people who have provided assistance in the general documentation of many of the technical aspects of the individual incidents or on the ground local knowledge of the sites where they have been located. Thanks to Mark Sheldon, Jim Corbett, John Skinn, Howard Newbould, Graham Sharpe, Brock Kerby, Nick Roberts, David Thompson, Ken Reast, Russ Grey, Johnnie Shipley, David Earl, Errol Martyn, Michael Hurst, Nick Wotherspoon, Ade Harris, Dave Donaghy and Alan Clark. We are all one small band of people who are linked by this passion to research these losses and lives of the related airmen.

We also remember the following people who are now no longer with us; Eddie Fell, Jim Rutland, Henk Welting, Albert Pritchard, Wally Douglas, Rodney Robinson, Eric Barton, Bill Norman, Guy Jefferson and Brian Rapier who have left their research in the public domain for the years to come. Some of their research was shared with me for inclusion within this website.
