Re: Raid on Southampton, 20-21 September 1941

The colour of his collar tabs appears wrong for aircrew, I wonder if he was goundcrew flying as a Bs who would in time have got a Bs badge. However at the time of his loss he may already become aircrew as there is no indication of when the photo was taken. As regards the spelling of his name there are many wrong spellings in the GQM list, but the spelling shown in the NVM quoted by Chris is likely to be the correct one. I assume correct name Thomas nickname 'Toni',

NB Can't see from the photo if he has the wings and prop. early cloth aircrew badge on his lower left arm sleeve
