Got a question for the more mature generation. What was the film that had the S R A/1 in it? Damned if I can remember it or find any reference to it. All i can remember is that it would have been made around 1950/53. I seem to remember it had a title like ‘Above And Beyond’ but it wasn’t that just similar.

I have just finished watching this great series on DVDs I aquired on the the internet (sadly, the series has never been officially released) Wonderful TV. I then managed to aquire the book of the series as well.
However, at the end of it all I was left wondering just what became of the six guys that the series followed from initial selection to the front line.
The only one to actually get onto fast-jets was John McCrea (XV Sqd, Buccaneers). Where is John today???
The others were: Rhod Smart, Allister Stewart, Robbie Low, Trevor Lewis and Martin Oxborough (I believe Martin went on to fly Hercules).
Does anyone have any info on what these fascinating guys are doing today???

It was on the telly, I think 80s. TV series only covered six…there was another one, in the book, went onto Lightnings.

Saw this a few weeks ago, forgot the channel, round about Battle of Britain week: it was quite good. I think it was a Harrier pilot he flew with. He did fly at the end in a Lanc. Dam Busters follows on same channel about 11 or 11-30 PM.

Best Wishes.

As an Auxilliary Air Force squadron, it should really be abbreviated to RAuxAF to save confusion with Royal Australian Air Force. 😉

As far as I can see the posts refer to 615 Squadron during the WW2 years and before. Therefore: Auxiliary Air Force, AAF. The ‘Royal’ was not conferred until 1947 so, from 1947: Royal Auxiliary Air Force or RAuxAF.

Best Wishes.

You can do it through the British Library. They’ll send you a form to complete, giving them permission to copy the site, and they’ll archive it. Takes a few months though. I haven’t got the url somebody might.

Best Wishes.

It was 1940. Gillam left 312 to go to 306 in December 1940. If I remember rightly they were given a third of a kill each.
Height given, Gillam’s combat report, 1500 feet. One (shared) kill.

Best Wishes.
