Andy, you are of course right, however I also have Men in Blue so can refer to that over the weekend if required.

Ah.

I’ve got the wrong end of the stick too. It’s the Moulson book that I have which is, of course, about an entirely different Squadron.

Sorry.

Onderwater, H. (1997) Gentlemen in Blue – The History of No 600 (City of London)

Maybe you know this already…

There is a book about 600 Sqn, I believe called Flying Sword.

I researched the history of one of their pilots, but nothing involving Hendon.

Flying Sword?

Are you not thinking of Moulson’s book on 601 Squadron?

Ah – thats a start – anyone out there have a copy they could check for any references to Sydney Nicholson? Not sure but he seems to have a connection to Finsbury Barracks – not knowing the area – anybody know the link between the two?
