This pilot flew Mosquitoes in India/Burma with No. 684 Squadron.

Does anyone know his:
Full name
Any other service details such as training and operational postings?

Thanks Errol.

He went to the Far East fairly early, I wonder where he was posted to iniitlally, and if he served in the defence of Singapore at all? Also knowing thta he was a Mosquito pilot later I wonder what he flew earlier in the war. Bleheims or Beauforts perhaps.
