Where could i find infos about RAF’s 28 Sqn from around 1940 to 1960?
(Deployments, pilots?, …)
Thanks in advance.

RE: RAF’s 28 sqn
Hi Neilly. The book’s good for tracing locations and movements of Squadrons, and has a lot of good background information on Squadrons. But it’s a book about Squadrons as opposed to aeroplanes, so you won’t find a lot of Tail Number/Sqn info in it. Try and get your local library to get a copy, then you can make up your own mind if you want it. I often get my local library to get books for me (it’s what you pay your council tax for!) If you still have problems get back to me and I’ll extract the info you want and E-Mail it to you. Incidentally I was with 28 Sqn at Kai Tak and Sek Kong from 1977-79, that’s why I noticed your post.
Yours

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 21-11-01 AT 09:53 AM (GMT)]Hi Keithmac,
I’ve been considering getting the RAF Squadrons book, for sometime. How good is it? Does it cover aircraft serial numbers or just odd samples of aircraft type/serial numbers as well as deployements etc.?
I’d be most interested in your views on the book.
Thanks,
Neilly

A good source of info is Wg Cdr C.G.Jeffords book “RAF Squadrons” ISBN Code 1 85310 053 6 published by Airlife Books. On Page 34 you’ll find a list of movements and equipment changes.
