Re: HP Hampden P4321 of 49 Sqn

It is logical that P/O Brian H Evans would attend the funeral of Sgt John Shaw as Shaw was the pilot when they were shot down in P4404 on 6/7th Dec 1940. And in case anyone is wondering, it was common at this time for pilots to act as Observers as was the case with P/O Evans, especially as he had a few 'dicky' landings in the weeks before in L4195 on 17.10.40 and P4321 on 28.11.40

I wonder if POWs received promotions while in captivity?
