The Breighton Bash (continued)

(BELOW) Breighton's very own 'Gangsta's' Les and Steven pose with our guest's of honour, two former wartime Breighton personnel, Cal Younger and Peter Gibby, both of 460 squadron. Peter was an electrician and Cal a navigator who was shot down in a Wellington, with only him and the rear gunner surviving. They were taken PoW and Cal wrote a book about it in 1956 called 'No Flight From The Cage'. Les took them both for a fly around in his R-22 on Saturday, and then took Peter for a ride in the Magister on Sunday. They both thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we'll certainly be inviting them back next year. (Nessa Carr)
