Tally ho !

Possible sighting ….

This might possibly be your grandad - the details fit but treat with a big caution .....

Flt Sgt Stanley Alfred Miller RAFVR, Service No 1389524 on 35 Squadron in 1943.
Awarded Distinguished Flying Medal - London Gazette No 4562 15 Oct 1943

35 Squadron was at Linton-on-Ouse til August 1942 with Halifaxes then moved to Gravely near Huntingdon to become a Pathfinder Squadron, changing to Lancasters in March 1944. A whole squadron website here - https://35squadron.wordpress.com/cat...and-incidents/
and further here - Archie - A Pilot in RAF Bomber Command - 35 Squadron

I found additional references to a Sgt SA Miller at RAF Chedburgh in 1942 (perhaps on the heavy operational conversion unit following navigator training) and to a Flt Lieut SA Miller in 1945 – possible career progression, but they may not be the same bloke.
