684 Squadron

My Father was Wing commander of 684 Squadron from late 45 to 46 and am looking to find any info on him and his time in England when seconded to the RAF, His name was Kos Newman.

There were various marks of Mosquito used including the VI, XVI and PR34.

It follows that you need a quick glance at the logbook to determine which direction to go. The monthly summary will tell you the units.

As to post-war transports there were four or more Dakota sqns eg 52, 117, 194, and an SD sqn 357.

Lots of avenues to follow.
