Requesting info on former RAF servicemen (my Uncle)
Hi All,
Can some of esteemed forum members guide me in the right direction please ?
I am looking to find out more information about my Uncle Archibald Campbell. (Archie to us kids)
I have his service number 2875731 and I know he served in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. Born in 1938 if that helps with enlistment.
My Uncle Archie always had a signed photo in a frame by his armchair, and as a young lad I asked him "who is that soldier?"
This was the day I learned about Bomber Harris, and my Uncles Huge Admiration for this man.
I was a little too young to remember all his stories but I do know that Archie managed to prang one of his flying machines which caused him to leave the RAF for the police force.
He then went on to successfully prang a police vehicle in a rather notable bank robbery during the 60's.
Any information , especially as to those who may have served with Archie , would be greatly appreciated.
A really kind and wonderful man who we all loved , and I'd like to know a little more about him to tell his sons (my cousins).
Archie passed on 17/07/2010 , sadly missed by all.
Thanks for your time,
Fionn
