Hi,

The above officer completed a hectic tour with 218 squadron during 1942/43 in which he was awarded the DFC. I have recently been sent three photo's which originate from a groundcrew member who seems to recall that the crew were that of Ken. I personally think they are, but would like confirmation.

In G/Cpt Hanson masterly publication it records that Ken was awarded two MiD in 1945 and states that he did two tours with 218 Squadron. I can only find one tour at the moment.

Can anyone help with details on this officer? Not sure how to add a photo of Ken, sorry.

Regards

Steve

I sent you a photo of the crew via email this morning. Cheers Steve
