I was quite sad to learn that Tom McLean has passed away. He was a brilliant, if not the most brilliant, aerial gunner and a good man according to those who knew him.

I highly recommend reading about him in Tom Bennett's "617 Squadron - The Dambusters at War" (Chapter 4).

He was indeed an outstanding air-gunner and a keenly brave man! Thanks very much for posting this.

All the best,
Richard
