He was stationed at Duxford, and Dimchurch and various other stations around the country. He served 12 years in all. I am trying to find out what he actually did during the war. I know he was a Flight Sergeant and he was an Aero Engineer. I know two people he served with, as we saw a lot of them when I was young. One was a Ron Stone, who lived in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands and the other was Douglas Fox, who lived in Warwick and ended up living in Loxley, Stratford-on-Avon. I was always led to believe that he was a Rear Gunner, but there seems to be some dispute over that now and I don't know where to look for his RAF records. I have sadly lost touch with these people, but would dearly love to know exactly what he did. My brother is convinced that he was a Rear Gunner so it would be great to know, one way or another. Can anyone help me please? Jennifer Blakeman (Cook) daughter.
