224 Coastal Command Squadron
 
Hi,
I am looking for the information about aircraft No. 7343 (Z.224) from RAF 224 Coastal Command Squadron from Leuchars (Scotland). I am especially interested with information from the first half of 1940. A/C was operated by P/O A.J Pearson and P/O B.L. Fox. Could anybody recommend me some books, websites, how to receive information about crews relatives?

There would be a letter before the serial. 224 Sqn's F540 is available to be downloaded from the National Archives site. Contacting relatives will be harder especially when the 2 names you quote are relatively common

Hello,

You will find quite a lot of biographical information on 42496 P/O Basil Lincoln "Peter" FOX RAF, 224 Squadron (an Australian), here:
