223 Sqn

My Dad, Flt Lt Ron Carpenter DFM (23/7/20 - 6/12/2011) completed 13 ops on 223 Sqn from RAF Oulton between Sept 1944 to Dec 1944 on Liberators. His first op was on the 1000 bomber raid on Bremen in a Wellington and then completed a tour of ops on 10 Sqn Halifaxes. He was a bomb aimer. I have visited the Norwich Air Museum as I live only 2 miles away and also the 100 group museum at Blickling Hall near Oulton. Over the last 3 years I have compiled an album of Dad's RAF service with many. photos, service records etc. Unfortunately no photos of his time on 223. Dad said it was a secret Sqn at the time as it was a radio counter measure Sqn and restricted. I'm contacting National Archives today and try and get some gen on his ops on 223
