My grandad, Warrant Officer Gordon Wilkes, part in the D-Day landings 80 years ago is partly documented here. I only found out about this within the last 12-18 months having done a bit of research. I never met him but I'm immensely proud of his part in history. BBC News - The RAF weathermen who helped save D-Day https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-48498383
