My Dad Ken, was 3rd Mate on San Roberto from 4th Sept 1943 to 3rd Jan 1944. I found a memento on eBay of the shooting down of the aircraft mentioned by Stan. It is a table lighter fashioned from an Oerlikon shell case, mounted on a circular brass base, and engraved with the date of the action in Antwerp. I bought it for Dad just before he crossed the Bar himself. I believe it was made by one of the engineers of the San Roberto.
Roy.
