John Abrahams (Flt Lt, 1940-1946) is looking for his friend Flt Lt Frederick Victor Houlgate (54598), from their time at SFTS Calgary 1942-43.

Any information to John Abrahams, sandATdircon.co.uk or 34 Queens Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4JW.


Hello John,

Please let me welcome you to the forum and we are always pleased when a WWII veteran joins our ranks.

I have had to alter your @ in your email address to AT,as it prevents people who trawl the internet for email address's from pestering you. All the members on the forum know about this, and if they have any information about your friend they will know how to reply to your email address.

Kindest regards

Looking around, "Find My Past" finds he was born in 1923, which would make him 90yrs now, but the site does not record a death of same person, so still alive in UK, or, possibly emigrated to another country sometime after retiring from RAF.

Hello John and welcome to our friendly forum. We are fortunate to have another 'ex crew member, Dennis here as well.
I know it may sound crazy but finding ex crew members alive is so much harder than finding someone who lost their life for their country!
Hope we can help in some way.

Thanks Bob for your help.

Hi Alan, I've just looked at the 'notices' here in Oz ............ nothing listed as yet.
John

Have you thought about putting something in the RAF News or in the RAFA newsletter? Which Sqn were they on? Is there an Assn? If there is do they have contact
