From Geoffrey Raebel:

I always thought I knew my Dad, Bob Raebel pretty well and that he

talked freely of his World War 2 experiences. Today in my sixties, I

am beginning to realise how damaged he was. He remembered and

shared good bits, the fun part of War. The bad parts he blocked out

and pushed questions aside, when asked directly. His home life was

not good and very few stories came out making a chronological

analysis hard.

Bob Raebel was Engineering Officer for 463 Sqn.
