Training in Rhodesia
I am wading through 2 boxes of photos & ephemera relating to the career of Sqn. Ldr. E. G. Waddingham, who trained at Thornhill in 1944 & passed 43a course, on the 21/12/1944. He remained in the RAF as a pilot until the mandatory retirement age of 55, having flown a total of 7,880 Hrs, his last flight being on the 09/04/1976.
I will try & attach a few things that stood out, including the wings party list, which would appear to be the list of pilots who graduated from the course & a page from his first of 4 log books.
If anyone has photos of Thornhill that year, it would help to determine which of his photos were from there?
Will try & post some more in the future, including a long list of pilots handbooks on various aircraft, a silk map of Palestine etc etc.
