Thread Name: Cy Grant, RAF veteran?
Subject: Cy Grant, RAF veteran?
On the BBC lunchtime news today was an item on Robin Gibbs (of a popular music combo called, I believe the BeeGees, M'lud)campaigning for a London memorial to the RAF Bomber Command. A white-haired veteran introduced as Cy Grant was shown returning to Holland where he was shot down. Was this the same Calypsonian from the 1950s/'60s? Plenty of West Indians in the RAF during WW2( writer E.R.Braithwaite for one).
