As an RAF wireless operator/air gunner, the late Bill `Enoch’ Kirkness DFM of Horsforth, West Yorkshire, flew seventy-two operations from India on two tours: the first in a B-24 Liberator bombing role and the second primarily on air-sea rescue assignments aboard Catalinas and Liberators. Post-war, he owned a signwriting business and a hobby shop, Models and Militaria, and he was a ham radio enthusiast. Matt Poole, a retired U.S. government geospatial analyst, has researched RAF Liberator operations in the Far East since 1990. While investigating 159 Squadron’s history, he befriended Bill and visited him in Horsforth in 1991.
