I am a current WO in RAF, serving at RAF Digby. I am also deputy curator of our museum here. We have just uncovered ops files for 295 297 Sqns 1944-1945 showing raids, codenames and participating units etc. All very interesting. If your assoc. wishes to view these contact me on 01526-323279 eves or 01526-327318 work to arrange. We may have to hand these to national archive so time is short. regards Dave Harrigan

It is great to see that some of the "forgotton" squadrons are now being recognised. My uncle flew as an air navigator with 297 squadron and was killed during the preparatory exercises for D-Day landings. He was based at RAF Stoney Cross and died when his aircraft crashed into a hillside during an exercise to drop 130 paratroopers from the 8th battilion parachute regiment on 21st December 1943. All the flight crew and 8 of the 10 paratroopers were killed.
If anyone remembers Joseph Hughes I would love to hear from them.

Best regards.
