Gaining an RAF pilots brevet in WW2
Danny I would guess your ex Cranwell guy in 49 would have been on a later course than those who were selected for accelerated training in early 45. I think the only name I recall from that bunch was Omerod from I think Manchester
I have often wondered how those guys prospered but there doesnt seem to be a Cranwell course nominal roll available.
In the case of the 23 of us who were in EUAS, we have been able to trace the destinies of most, but the search for Davidson,Jackson, Maybe and,McClaclan has been unsuccessful---all were 18ish and u/t PNB in Jan 1945 Some may have now joined the 10 known RIP. We would be interested in any info on the "missing"
