Raf Air Sea Rescue WW2

Ian, Have you been in contact with the Norfolk and Suffolk Air Museum?

They have quite a large display on RAF air-sea rescue if I remember rightly. They may be able to put you in touch with others from that time?

Hi Holly2001,

Im obviously 9 year late in replying to your original mail. My father was based in Alexandria in the same period os your father and they probably knew each other. My father is luckily still ilave (just turned 88). I will ask him if he remembered your father and get back in touch. My Dad was a first engineer on a marine tender. He say it was the est time of hs life!!
