David Russell received a letter dated September 26, with information about Sergeant Charles Robert Walpole, who was a member of the RAF Marham squadron known as 'Dambusters' and was killed in a raid in Dams in 1943.

Mr Russell, who is helping with a research for a book about Sgt Walpole to be published at the end of the year, said: 'The letter had no return address.'

He added: 'We're very interested in hearing more about Charles Robert Walpole.

'The RAF can't provide any further information.'

The letter was signed 'Tony' and Mr Russell said: 'It looks like the writing of an older person.

'It would be good if he could write to me again with a return address.

'He must have genuinely forgotten to include it.'
