David do you know where those photos were taken ? It looks like 31 Sqn North West Frontier to me The incident to K1289 would be an earlier one than 1941 to me

Unfortunately no Paul, the photos came from a friend whose father (Frederick Frost) was in the R.A.F., I am trying to find out more information about them. Frost was shot down with 620 Squadron and was held by the Gestapo and the photographs were in his effects. I am endeavouring to find out more about Frost.

Thank you snafu. Would that have been an R.A.F. pilot or an Indian pilot as it’s 1 IAF?

I see your point.

I would suggest from the fire’s intensity that the burning aircraft had just crashed and was a returning aircraft that came down short of the runway.

From their hats are Brister, King and Peace officers? What would the command structure be of an OTU?

An update here, back row, fourth from left AG, John Matthews who went on to 144 Squadron.

Any help in identifying others that are pictured would be appreciated.

I am interested in Roe, William Alec. 131829 his wartime address was “Allendale” Fordham Rd. Bury St. Edmonds. He was with 21 Squadron and took part in this raid however did not bomb..Some time after this raid he was shot down and I am hoping someone can tell me when and how etc.

I see Tolchard transferred into 97 Squadron on 3 August 1943 but can find no record of him flying ops with 97 Squadron or being transferred out, can anyone clarify this for me please?

Badge No 2 issued for GQ Parasuit descent.

I think No 1 went to a chap called Law, or Laws. I forget!

I have one of those but it has no name or number on it. Mine has a pin attachment, not the stud.
