World War Two / RAF Ground Crew Breighton
« on: Wednesday 19 January 11 13:09 GMT (UK)  »
This is my Dad Stan just after he had enlisted in January 1941 he was just 18yr. Stanley Owen was

eager to serve his country and help win the War for Britton. Dad did not want to be in the Army or

Navy it had to be the RAF. that is why he enlisted before he was called up. He loved planes.

 Dad joined up January 1941 when he turned 18yr.
After basic training
my Dad, Stanley John Owen was assigned  with 78 Squadron  first  served at Lossiemouth Scotland then posted to Breighton  East Yorkshire until the end of the war.


Dad was a Fitter Armourer on the Halifax Bomber he is very proud of those days,when he served with the RAF. He joined up in 1941 as soon as he turned 18.  My Dad is 88yr now, loves to reminisce about the War and still has many stories to tell.

Does anyone out there know much about 78 Squadron ?

I would be gratefull for any information & help.

Thank you
