Having had such a stupendous response (many thanks to all involved:ok:) to my last request for help in finding information about a lost relative in WWII, I thought I'd try my luck again...
This time, it is not a relative, and he was not lost on Ops. So it will be a lot harder I suspect.
The chap in question was a near neighbour of mine when I was a kid. He retired up to North Yorkshire and I never saw him again, and I suspect he may well have passed away by now. He served in the RAF as aircrew (pilot) on Beaufighters in Burma in WWII. If my memory is correct he also flew Mosquitos.
There is nothing else I can tell you apart from his name - George Thompson. No rank or service number details I'm afraid.
If anyone can help, or point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. Again!
Cheers,
Nacluv
