10 Squadron

This thread has just been drawn to my attention and I hope I'm not too late to join.

Whilst researching my wife's family tree I've been spending some time researching her cousin's time with 10 Sqn during 1943. He was Jack Hulley. He began his tour as a Sgt and was commisioned in August 1943. He was awarded the DFC in November 1943. He finished his service as a Flt. Lt.

His usual aircraft was ZA-K in which he was the bomb aimer. The pilot came from New Zealand, Gordon Hewlett DFC. I've had this information from his flight engineer, Tom Thackray DFM. Tom is 90 this year. Recently he and his wife celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary.

If anybody has any other information on Jack whilst on 10 Sqn, or can shed any light on his subsequent RAF service, we would be most grateful to receive it.
