From Duxford, June 6, 2004.
Lt Col Hayden Richards. Yes, I've shaken a hand that held the stick over Normandy 60 years ago to the day.
PS Many thanks to Tracey Woods, IWM DX PR for the period photo of the Lt Col.
Also, here's a recap on this photo from this thread:
American P-47 Thunderbolt getting some maintenance in the dispersal area of a makeshift airfield in the French countryside following the Allied invasion of Normandy. August 1944, photographer: Frank Scherschel.
