It's just possible he was one of the pilots my mother watched fighting overhead when she was a kid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Debden There's a shot of some of the Eagle Squadron pilots in front of a Spit down the right hand side. Anyway he must have been a really good pilot with a DFC and all that he did later. Bet it made Father's Day for you Regards, Peter On 19/06/2016 01:33, Tina Manley wrote: > PESO: > > My sister was Googling our father's name and came across some wonderful > photos of him that we have never seen before.
