unfortunately not. My grandfather I know quite a bit about, Jenny's Maternal Grandfather, a fair amount but her Paternal grandfather, all we know is that he was evacuated form Dunkirk in '40, fought in Africa and in Burma and spent the last part of the war as a driver, not sure what he drove, but I think I remember him mentioning it was officers rather than supplies etc.

I am planning a three part display, some sort of verlinden type Para for my GD, a DC3 for Jenny's maternal GD and a staff car for her Paternal GD
