Hawker Typhoon

[Compass Call]

Does anybody have any photos of Hawker Typhoons wearing the code 'HH - B' ?

My father got through about 5 Typhoons with this code before some 'idiot' signed the surrender and stopped his fun!!(His words, not mine).

I would just like to have some to remember him by.

Thanks for the info.

I will carry on my search. My dad mentioned Tom Hall a few times but never knew where he ended up. 175 Sqdn. seems to have been a bit of a 'colonial' squadron. Two of my dad's mates were Bert Thirlwell (Canada) and 'Hoppy' Hopgood (South Africa) as well as Tom Hall (Australia).

Not many of them left now. Bert and Tom still around. I believe Hoppy has passed on and dad passed on in 2003.

You need a copy of :

There is a phot of HH- B on page 65 your Pa would have been "Jack" Frost.

You might try contacting Christopher through the publishers Arms and Armour Press.
