Plt Off F Shippard

[Tony]

A Puzzle

The Stirling Story by Michael J F Boyer has two references for him:

p.187: Listed as crewing B/75 (NZ) Sqn

p.190: Lists him with 90 Sqn RAF

Was Shippard a New Zealander?
Did he serve on either squadron - or both?

No WWII New Zealand airman of this name, unless perhaps it is a corruption of

NZ412273 Frederick James Sheppard, a pilot who is known to have been attached to the RAF and was commissioned in 1943, but for whom I lack postings, though 75 Sqn seem unlikely.
