Re: flight commander , 118 Squadron 1943

Hi Keith and Chris,

According to the ORB F/Lt Newbery commanded A Flight and left 1st August 1943 to 10 Group for tactics. F/O A. Drew was posted from 616 Squadron and was promoted to F/Lt. The ORB doesn't mention whether F/Lt Drew took over command of A Flight, but this is likely.

F/Lt Shepherd continued till 12th October 1943 when he was attached to another RAF unit. It's not clear who replaced him, this might be F/Lt K. Giddings.

Regards,
Hans
