Six of the crew opened their chutes immediately and were blown out to sea. The two others delayed their chute openings and "landed safely" which means they were close enough to land to get picked up.<br></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr class="GridAltRow"> <td> <p> <h2>Re: 614 Bomb Sq 401 Bomb Gp/H</h2> <table> <tr> <td style='vertical-align: top; width: 160px;'> <b>Posted:</b><br> <b>By: </b><a href='mailto:nico.knol@home.nl'>Nico Knol</a><br> <b>On: </b>07/04/2005 <br> </td> <td style='vertical-align: top;'>thank you Scott for answering so fast.

Because they knew that I was the adopter of a Quero citizen, my wife and I were invited to join them and so we did.<br>As we went to the bus to leave a man asked the leader of the group to wait, because his wife was a bit sad because she had discovered her brothers name at the Wall of Missing. I told the leader, a lady, that it might give some help if she could tell this lady, at the right moment, that I promised to lay flowers not only at the adopted graves but also at the Wall of Missing as close to her brothers name as possible.<br>Later I was informed that it was indeed helpful.<br>Because I know who the other three men were before the war and I also know where and how they died, I would be very happy if you can give me some information about:<br>Paul W. Trump<br>T SGT 614 Bomb SQ<br>401 Bomb GP (H)<br>Virginia<br>Today I visited the Cemetery because at 10.00 there was a Holy Mass and at 15.00 a performance of Mozart's Requiem.<br>Of course I visited the three graves as well as the Wall of Missing and laid some flowers and as I saw Paul Trump's name I decided to try to get more information.<br>Thank you in advance.<br><br></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table>
