Thanks for the info.

I will carry on my search. My dad mentioned Tom Hall a few times but never knew where he ended up. 175 Sqdn. seems to have been a bit of a 'colonial' squadron. Two of my dad's mates were Bert Thirlwell (Canada) and 'Hoppy' Hopgood (South Africa) as well as Tom Hall (Australia).

Not many of them left now. Bert and Tom still around. I believe Hoppy has passed on and dad passed on in 2003.
