In 2011 I had the privilege of interviewing Jack Bromfield who served as a wireless operator on No. 158 Squadron with Bomber Command and was shot down in January 1945. Herewith is the video of our interview in which Jack talks about joining the RAF, forming a crew, the Halifax bomber, his training as a wireless operator, Fishpond, the night he was shot down, evasion, and capture.
Delighted and moved to have found this. I had the privilege of developing a friendship with Jack through our mutual involvement with Buckinghamshire Aircraft Recovery Group (BARG) in the late 90’s,
when they had a fabulous display at Bletchley Park. I recall taking Jack to RAF Museum Hendon, and seeing him look up at the remains of Friday 13th and wondering what memories it was bringing back. He always had a spark in his eye, along with his other friends from BARG I will always remember Jack, and cherish the memories of my time with him.
