    My brother joined as soon as the war was called so would have gone to Digby then

    I expect he managed this photo before any embargo wss made on wartime pics

    I have no memory of him going there with the RAFVR from Hull – I was only 9 at the time but lucky this photo was saved by my parents after Stan was killed

    My brother was Sgt Pilot Stanley ANDREW who was with 46 Squadron in Norway in May-June 1940

    I have a number of pictures taken there by PO John Fraser DRUMMOND and they include this one showing a Hurricane that crashed on landing
