1F squadron, Leicester
« on: Monday 09 November 15 23:10 GMT (UK) »
My grandfather was in this squadron in WW2 and I have a (very poor) copy of a photo of the squadron dated April 1942.

The men are named under the photo:
W/O James (Bandmaster)
C Barrett, P/O
P Rogers, F/O
W/O Sanders
T Haird F/O
C Hurst F/O
E C Oliver F/O (Adjutant)
W F Whiting Flt/Lieut (Officer Commanding)
J Abbott F/O
N Dyer  F/O   (<-- my granddad!)

If anyone has any link with the squadron or interest in it please give us a wave! I might be able to post a copy of the photo but as I said, it is poor quality  :(
