My name is Elizabeth Allaway, my father CPL. Ernest Victor Allaway was stationed at ABU-SUEIR as of 23rd of September 1944.  My father died in 1946, and I just found a letter he wrote to my mother with the above address, and that he was in the MT Section (not sure what that is).  It was great actually being able to find this website and find where he was during WWII, as I never knew my Dad this site brought him closer to me.  Thanks, Elizabeth

What a brilliant site this is. I am the granddaughter of Sgt. Ian Frank McManus, service no. 404056. He was the Pilot of Wellington X 3179 in 21 OTU, WW2. He was the only Australian in his crew. He died on 25th June, 1942. My mother never got to meet her Dad & I am looking for a photo of him as this would make my mum feel complete. Thanks Kerry Taggart.

Very interesting. A P Davidson was my Uncle Alec and he and wife Jane (Swedish) had a house in Oxshot called Bramcote, for the station he commanded in 1940.

Ever since I "found" Malcolm's site, many years ago, I have used and been fascinated by its content and how he has maintained and expanded his original idea for the use of all of us.

Many congratulations.

I was stationed at RAF Gibraltar from 1970 -1972 and the the Air Commodore was at that time named Upritchard not 100% sure that is the correct spelling. 

Would be interested in contacting any one stationed at RAF Gibraltar (North Front) between 1970—1972

Dear all, I’m trying to find a definitive photo of my second cousin. His name was Cecil George Jones, he was christened on 15 July 1915 at St Leonard's parish church, Bridgnorth, Shropshire.

His parents were George Walter and Lilian Rose Jones. Their address was given as 11 Innage Gardens and the trade of George senior was Foreman of William Phillips & Co Ltd  Mineral Water Works, Moat street, Bridgnorth.

If any relatives wish to get in touch with me please do. They may be interested to know that my Mother has some very interesting information, some of it though is quite sad. Cecil had to younger sisters; they would well be in to their 60’s now, probably married with children. Cecil was also married.

His descendents might like to know ‘just what happened’.

I can send a photo, my Mother thinks it's Cecil George Jones, but she’s not 14 anymore.. (she’s 82) The photo was taken early 1940’s, RAF Bridgnorth. We think he was a rear Gunner on Lancasters and was shot down over Germany. Any help, photos, confirmation of the photo, would be most appreciated.

I was based at RAF Padgate 1956 for initial drill training and the went off to Yatesbury to undergo Radar Training. Now well into my retirement I am selling the Royal Air Force tartan from two websites at WWW.kamrafa.co.uk and www.mactartan.co.uk  the tartan was designed by an ex RAF pilot who took his inspiration from the various colours of the sky.The web sites cover costs and the rest goes to the Wings appeal. Drop by and see for your self.

My father, Flight /LT George H Westbrook received the Mention in Dispatches and the Oak Leaf after serving in Malta during WWII. Yet nowhere is he mentioned. But we have the medals. Some people got forgotten. He was somewhat disheartened before he passed away in Brantford Canada in 1959.

I just buried my dad Robert (Bob) Dunne known as Paddy sometimes because he was Irish.  He served with 117 squadron in Burma and spent time in India and Gold Coast in West Africa.  He was an LAC or aircraft mechanic and I was wondering if anyone out there has links to this squadron.  I would love to hear from them to swap stories and photos etc. from David Dunne

What great site. I have looked at photos my father had from the 2nd war and have no idea who all these airmen are.  Would love to have anyone contact me if they know the name Harold Barham, Flight Engineer Halton, Brize Norton, Felixstowe, Hornchurch, Norway.

Many thanks

I have been looking for a venue to add an interesting item so that others could share.  My father, William Spriggs, DFC was on active duty with 8 Squadron RAF from Aug 1918 to early 1918 and the item is the officers mess menu prepared for the Xmas 1918 dinner for "A" Flight, signed by the attendees.  It looks as though it has found a home.

Its very useful, but there are frustrating gaps.  I am trying to research the service histories of my father and uncle, both of whom commanded 53 Sqn during WW2.   There seem to be significant gaps in that area for 53 Squadron.  Maybe I will be able to help fill some of them in, in due course, from family records.  I'd welcome any contact from ex 53 Sqn from that period.  David Edwards

I have just discovered your site which is a testimony to your hardwork of which you must be proud.  I am the only son of  a v m Felton Vesey Holt killed flying in 1931 when I was four. I m afraid he wasnt a great writer so we have nothing much in the family and my present aim is to extract as much information as possible about him from official sources. Congratulations on making such an effective and scholarly contribution to military and air history oliver vesey holt
