Pat Hughes - with a little help from my friends

I love researching our Second World War aviation history but sometimes I come up against a barrier. I am so grateful to friends, old and new, who help me peek behind the barrier or knock it down completely. For instance, for some time I have been trying to contact the family of Kathleen (Kay) Brodrick, Pat Hughes's wife. Every avenue came up a dead end. And then, thanks to Andy Saunders and his friend Paul McMillan I was given a lead and I have now made contact.

Here is my favourite photo of Pat, taken in June 1940. Kay is holding the camera.
