Fascinating Thread
I've just read the entire thread about Arthur Gill. I'm fascinated by your father's story, Nigel. Thank you so much for sharing it in such detail along with some of his collection of photographs, which are absolutely outstanding!
I find this quote from Peter C Smith's "Jungle Dive Bombers at War" quite moving:
"Number 84 Squadron was scheduled to convert to Mosquitos but Gill's own last flight in the Vengeance took place on 25 September 1944. He was posted home and flew FB981 from Samungli, Quetta, to Lahore, escorted for part of the way by a flight of Vengeances from the unit which he had first preserved, then led so well."
