I have just been sent a photo by my sister of my Uncle's course during WW11
He was in A Flight Ninth Course No 1 Squadron RAF Aberystwyth dated 25th Feb 1941. All the names were shown of all 48 men. In the front row two corporals ,a P/O R.O Whitaker and in the middle ( the boss I guess as he has wings unlike the rest Flt Lt C.Wyatt-Hughes)
Clearly my uncle got a move on gaining his Pilots Brevet as in Jan 1942 as a P/O Wellington Pilot in No 40 Squadron from Alconbury he crashed into the North sea and was a POW for the rest of the war. Sadly two of the crew of 6 were killed
I wonder how many passed the course and survived the war?
