Almost one year ago on the 28th of September 2018 I received a package from Australia containing the watch that the pilot, Leonard Arthur Townrow, of Lancaster ED821 lost during his bailout. My great-grandfather found it in 1946 and my grandparents gave it back to the sister of Leonard. This sister wish was to donate it to the Frisian Resistance museum in Leeuwarden. This never happened… Until now!
After getting in touch with the family in 2017 they wanted to donate the watch to the museum. I donated the watch on behalf of the family of Leonard Arthur Townrow. Very special and nice to do! The watch is donated in May 2019 to the museum.
