F/O Bruce Innes CLIFFORD-JONES 9 Squadron

Hi guys

F/O Bruce Clifford-Jones was a pilot with 9 Squadron and was killed in a flying accident on 8/9/39, one of the early casualties. He was second pilot aboard Wellington L4320 - details unknown.

He was actually a Maori. How did this fit in with the RAF's colour bar? He had obviously joined the RAF before the colour bar was lifted.

Interesting!

Cheers
Brian
Happy New Year to one and all
