MDJETFAN,

Not being picky chap, 'Humberside AP' was Kirmington.

Killingholme was a RNAS Base prior to WWII with various sea planes. During WWII, North Killingholme AF was operational for only 16 months and had only one sqn, 550 Sqn. On a historical note, 550 Sqn (LL811 J-Jig) Known as Bad Penny II dropped the first bombs to open the assault on Normandy. See Patrick Otter's book on Lincs AF of WWII

Back to the the thread:

My Grandfather was a marine eng at RAF Bridlington circa late 50s. If anyone served with Cpl Bob Humphrey, I would be grateful to hear from them; unfortunately, he passed away in 95. PM me with any dits.

Thanks
