RAF Seletar - 1950s
I'm trying to put some meat on the bones of my grandfather's history, and wondered if anyone can add clarity to the history Wikipedia gives?
My grandfather was born in 1931, and joined the RAF in 1945 through national service. He stayed in the RAF until he retired as a Warrant Officer in 1971 after 26 years service. When he retired, he was a SWO and Chief Clerk, and I know he was always dealing with pay and expenses.
However, he tells us tales of flying in Sunderland flying boats from RAF Seletar and dropping bombs by hand on the rebels in the jungle!
Is this feasible? Did such things happen? Did Chief Clerks in their younger years even fly?
All help appreciated.
