My great grandfather crash landed a bomber in Mevagissey harbour in circa 1940 when his pilot was killed in action and co pilot was critically wounded. He was awarded the Distinguished Fling Medal which was listed in the London Gazette in July 1940 Does anyone have any information, paper cuttings on this event His name was Frank Hibbert and he was a Seargent at the time You can contact me on Dave.Moxey@btopenworld.com Thanks Dave

I have researched my family tree and I am the son of a Henry Thomas Johns, who was part of a long lineage of fathers of the same name descending from Mevagissey. I think they owned 3 boats, Pet, Three Johns and Lizzy. I would like to know more about them and if there are any of our family still living there.
