Len Rooke 617 Sqn

[Sven Sixtoo]

Dear Colleagues

I am informed that Mr Len Rooke, age 91, died in the last few days. I am told that he was a Flight Engineer on 617 at or around 1943/4. Can anyone confirm this and provide any supporting detail?

yours

Sven

There is a mention of

"3570011 Sgt Rooke LS F/Eng posted from 619 Sqn to 617 Sqn on 15/02/44"

He is later recorded as F/S Rooke.

There are crew lists and several targets with him as crew.


RIP Len - Per Ardua Ad Astra
