A LONDON solicitor's quest to find his war hero father's Middlewich home has a happy ending - thanks to the Guardian.

Duncan McNair came to Middlewich with his mother in a bid to find the house where his father, Squadron Leader Robin McNair, stayed during the Second World War.

After an appeal in the Guardian last week, Eric Weedall contacted us to say he used to live in the house on Westlands Road.

"I've spoken to Mr McNair on the phone and I've sent him some photos of his father with the family he stayed with," said Mr Weedall.

"He will come and visit again with his mother and we hope to visit the house."
