S (Stuart?) R (Richard?) BIRD 605 Sqn 1941

Hi guys

I am endeavouring to make a full identification of F/Lt S.R. BIRD, who was a flight commander with 605 Squadron in 1941.

I am aware that he flew from an aircraft carrier to Malta in November 1941, but returned early January 1942 without seeing action.

Which squadron/unit had he served with prior to joining 605 Sqn, as I note that he had one aerial victory (a Dornier) to his credit circa 1940/41, but no further information.

To which command/unit was he posted on his return to the UK in 1942, etc?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
Brian
