Dear all,
A relation of my other half is a veteran of the Italian and Burmese campaigns in 1943 and 1944, and he has just got internet access. Pictures of his units online are few and far between.
He served in 152 Squadron as ground crew and would be delighted to see pictures of this squadron from 1943 and 1944. Is there anyone out there who possess such items in their collections who is willing to make an old man happy?
Many thanks
Steve

There is an interesting photograph in “The Burma Air Campaign 1941-45” by Michael Pearson which shows the Motor Transport element on the Magwe/Meiktila Road.
It is credited to Ronald White of 152 Squadron
There are also a couple of photos in the new Osprey Aircraft of the Aces book
“Spitfire Aces of Burma and the Pacific” by Andrew Thomas
“Air War for Burma” by Chris Shores has a photograph of the squadron pilots.
And finally Spitfire PS890 from France flies in 152 squadron markings
