Re: News about John 'K4KittyCrew'?

I've also not heard from John for a while, as he would sometimes email me for a quick chat now and then, so your news on his absence is a little worrying.

Re: 15 Squadron

Paul His crew are listed below for an op in July. The 15sqdn ORB at this time, only listed the postings of officers to the squadron, but as Megginson, Burrows, Haydon and Mitchell all came in from 1657 CU on 17th May 43, it would be safe to say that the rest of the crew, including your father, came ...

There seems to be some incorrect details in the ORB, as it gives Mackett and Deadman being posted in from 214sqdn on 25th and 21st Jan 44 but, according to the 161sqdn ORB, Mackett flew his last op with them on 15th Feb 44. Also, there is no sign of F/Sgt Newton in the crew at 149sqdn at any time. M...

Re: 149 Squadron Photos & Details

Hubert Waugh,s service file states that he was with 161sqdn before 149, and 214sqdn before 161, so may be possible that the rest of the crew were as well. I have the 161sqdn ORB as well as the one for 149sqdn and will have a look through them for any op details.
