Gloster Grebe
Amazing. My thanks to you Archimedes! It is at least thirty years since my father spoke to me about that aircraft, and he didn't say much at the time. He did say that it had only just missed Eastchurch Primary School, which I must presume is the building in one of the pictures. Dad had done his initial training at RAF Uxbridge (not long after Aircraftman Shaw was there) and thence to RAF Manston for technical training where he cam top out of 200 airmen. From there he went to Eastchurch early in 1930, I suspect not long before the crash of J7530.
I added more pictures yesterday evening, and there are more to come, of 29 Squadron at El Amyra - hope you like them.
Kind regards
Adrian
