The Malta Story ARH Barton

September 24, 2012 7:08 pm

"This is the story by way of the log book and diary of Squadron Leader ARH Barton's operational tour of
Malta from March to June 1942
."

Hi Mac

I was reading some more articles on your web site – One of which was this. Great stuff! However it is credited to me. However I have never seen it before!

http://ahoy.tk-jk.net/macslog/ConvoyDiarybyTonyBarton.html 

I then tried to find the narrative that I wrote on my Dad but couldn’t find it. Can u point me in the right direction please? I am having to rewrite another  version as I have now had some more information
given to me courtesy of Frederick Galea from the Malta Aviation Museum. I will send it as soon as it is finished. Keep up the good work – terrific website!

Kind rgds - Tony


Tony,

Thanks for your nice comments about AHOY. I am now 90 and both Terry and myself are grateful for comments such as yours.

Silly me, I know that Mac McLeod was the author of Convoy Diary which is acknowledged later in the article.

Have asked my Webmaster to correct this error.

Best wishes,

Mac.

Good evening Mac.

The comments are well deserved. My hat is off to you & Terry. Congratulations on being 90 – I certainly would not have known your age from the amount of work

That must have gone into “Ahoy”. I am impressed!
 
I know the URL that you sent me  - however I can’t find the narrative added that I sent to you about my Dad, it’s some 20 pages....Maybe you haven’t had time to post it yet?

see "Squadron 126 leader ARH Barton - Tony or Killer"

Kind rgds-Tony


Tony,

I have looked at every article posted on AHOY and cannot find anything from you about your Dad.

I think I would remember getting a 20 page document from you, I pride myself on having a good memory, but I cannot recall ever receiving such a document.

Let me have a copy when you complete the latest article.

Best regards,
Mac.
