Dear all
Can anyone tell me if there is a published history of 51 Sqn please? I am actually interested in any histories that might be available of Whitley Sqns including 77, 78, 58, 166, 7 and 10 Sqns.
Thanks in advance.

51 Squadron has a web site
http://www.51squadron.com/51Sqdn.htm
The history is published in The Snaith Knights books. Not sure where they are available at this time but an enquirey on the 51 Squadron website might bring up a source.
My Dad did his tour there in 1944 – he always had fond memories of the people and the place. Was pilot at age 20!!!:cool:
Hope this helps.
