Great set of photos, like the photo of UM-E in the air, I’ve sent you a message.
Cheers Rob…

I trust he is aware of this site

I served on this unit in the ’50’s, so cannot help further.

Thanks Peter, Steve if I can help in any way please let me know, I.E if you want better pictures from the site.

Cheers

Photo No.1 has F/L Peter Howard-Williams on the right. I think the other pilot might be F/L J.C. Robson (both of 118 Sqn).

Bunny Currant is in the centre of photo No.2 and the pilot he is facing looks rather like Sgt Stan Jones DFM (again both from 118). Currant is also on the right of photo No.3.

The pilot on the right of photo No.5 is possibly F/L T.W. ‘Jock’ Gillen.

The one on the end (Righthand Side) is P/O T.W.Gillen with 152 Squadron in 1939, just thought it might help to identify the Pilot in photo 5.

152 Squadron Spitfire MkVIII based at Sinthe, central Burma. Almost certainly following a raid from the Japs on the 14th February 1945. The Squadron suffered 9 KIA and 30+ WIA and several destroyed and damaged aircraft.

113 Squadron(http://113squadron.com/) never visited Sinthe, the only connections I can see is that thay were at the same airfields Palel, may 1944 – July 1944 & Zayatkwin, Aug 1945 – Sept 1945. I understand the Japs sneaked in to dispersal area of the squadrons while at Palel and planted sticky bombs on 7 aircraft destroying them. So maybe this is the result of that attack.
