[QUOTE="F for Freddy, post: 42947, member: 2923"] Cheers for the info, but the date for the TOFFEE they flew to seems to early as it was the start of June, more research I guess never easy ! but by co incedence they flew a mission = July 28th/29th 1944, Operation LOXTON (LUXTON)/IMPERATIVE, 14 containers and 26 packages dropped 26 miles SW of Modena. 3 personnel dropped 5 miles SE of Mantum. and I was told by Malcolm Tudor = By coincidence I was looking at the cargo manifest for the drops to Montefiorino last spring. As you will see in my book, the overall operation to land Italian troops, Allied advisers, and their supplies, was codenamed Albergo. The drop of agents was designated Batepits. I'm interested to see that your friend was involved in the operation - the DZ codenamed Luxton was one of three for the receipt of supplies. I wonder what and where IMPERATIVE was, and who the three agents were ? Thanks for the link to the picture excellent stuff a real connection to the past. I know what you mean about work as well All the Best Steve [/QUOTE]
