Help needed to identify 72 Squadron personnel
Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can identify some or all of the pilots in the attached photo. It shows 72 Squadron in North Africa in 1942. The gent on the left looking at the camera is probably Jimmy Corbin who flew with 66 Squadron in the Battle of Britain. I know that the pilot in the group with the white scarf and moustache is Alan Gear who flew with 32 Squadron in the Battle of Britain. Is anyone out there able to put names to the rest of the group. I would appreciate your help. Gerry |
Re: Help needed to identify 72 Squadron personnel
You are correct about the identities of Corbin and Gear. The photo was taken at Souk el Arba and is one of a number taken at that time. I cannot confirm it but by comparision with other photos from the period I think the officer in the hat may be Roy Hussey and the one holding the tent rope may be either Arthur Jupp or P/O Stone. I have sent you a PM about this photo.
Yours aye Tom |
