51 Squadron December 1949
I know this is a little off topic, but I have been continuing the research on my Grandfather's RAF career post WWII, and I came across this quote by Keith S. Ford in his book "Swift and Sure".
December 1949
"In December the squadron started normal route flying. Some aircrew were on route flying experience and the necessary categorisations were being carried out. Normal schedules were route flying to Singapore and Nairobi. But the squadron also participated in special flights. Interesting ones were Sunray flights, when the squadron were given the task of supporting Bomber Command. No doubt by this time all the old Halifax bomber boys had been demobbed."
Hmm I know of one veteran from 51 Sqdn. 1943-44 who was serving with 51 Sqdn in Dec 1949... question is - were there any more?
