Re: 185 Malta Squadron - searching for info on pilots who flew May 8th, 1943

Hi Bruce thank you for the info - very helpful!

This is the tricky bit. Do you have any idea where AJ Clayton or family would reside in Australia? I was able to get info on sgt bromhead (including log book scan from may 8/43) from the australian war museum. Indeed I will try to contact them to see if they have anything on Clayton. However if you might point me in the right direction in your country I would be most grateful.

The spelling on Ireland seemed right - it's from the squadron reports. i will also double check my copy of '185 the malta squadron'.

Thank you ever so much, Jamie

Are you sure of the initials for F/O EA Ireland? There was a F/L EG Ireland,
RCAF, on 411 Sqn in 1944; he also has an entry in 'Those Other Eagles' although there's no mention of service on 185 Sqn.

Cheers, Bruce
