The video is there? It says missing plug in to me, which I find a bit odd as I’m usually updated.

My mother was in the WRAF from 1940-1952 and served at station HQ Perranporth at this time. She died last year and would have liked this. Thank you for posting.

Good stuff. “Jacko” got his DFC with 91 Squadron flying XIIs and XIVs. He wrote at book about his experiences as well post war.

I’ve got photos of him getting his DFC as well as one of him in a photo of the Tangmere Wing in October 43
