Re: Fl/Lt Leslie Victor Walsh 150 Squadron

There is in fact, every possibility that Ken Gibbs was the age stated at time of death, when you take into account the story of a Canadian airgunner, who lied about his age when enlisting, and was killed in April 45 at the age of 16.

Re: Flight logs
If you are referring to his flying logbook, then the answer is no. If you eventually find out information on any squadron's he was with, you can then look at their record books for details of flights/ops

Re: RAF Wethersfield
Wayne, Mac, is actually 415170, F/O E.M McAlister RAAF, not NZ as quoted. I had my suspicions with the darker uniform, and downloaded the Dec 44 ops book out of curiosity. Full crew.... J.28013, F/O T.L. Hogg. Aus.419391 F/Sgt T.G Mouser. Aus.415170 F/O E.M. McAlister. Aus 419766 F/Sgt A.H. Purcell ...

Re: RAF Wethersfield
Welcome to the forum. I would concentrate more on 299sqdn, as according to Tom Mousers service record, he was only with 196 a matter of a couple of days before being posted on to 299, so there will be nothing to gain from anything to do with 196sqdn. Nice set of photo's.
