Re: LAC Stutely/Stuteley 500 Squadron 1940
Brian,

I have looked at all the Stukely and Stukeley entries in AIR 78. Going by the service numbers there is only one which matches the 1940 timeframe. He is 812267 Cecil Guy Stukeley (in AIR 78/153/1/page 848).
The nice part is that he was Auxiliary Air Force, and the 812000-812999 batch of service numbers was reserved for 500 Squadron ! (from 'ACES HIGH, Vol. 2' by Chris Shores).
This Stukeley was Mentioned in Despatches dated 31 December 1940 in the London Gazette, but as an AC2 ! He was commissioned in 1945.

Regards,

Martin Gleeson.
