He was called up in 1939 as one of the RAFVR. After training he joined 220 Squadron of Coastal Command flying Hudsons in September 1940. In mid-1941 he moved to a training unit. He moved back to an operational role in 1942 with 269 Squadron based in Iceland. He then returned to the role of instructor first in Northern Ireland then at Leuchars in 1944. At the end of the year he moved to a staff appointment at Northwood then in mid-1945 returned to being an instructor until he was demobbed in early 1946. A fairly bland but interesting account. |
