Re: SLdr Ronald Arthur Sutherland, 602 Squadron
He was with 132 squadron on 18 October 1943 according to IWM combat film.
In June 1942 he was a student of the RAeS ut I am not sure what that means. It could be he was studying aeronautical engineering which might mean his non-appearance in combat units was due to him following a test-pilot path?
I am sure I read somewhere that he was with 122 or 22 but can't remember where...but it was in 1943.
According to Pierre Clostermann he was an ex-public schoolboy, amateur heavyweight boxing champion and London policeman...
Given he was in the RAF in August 1938 he must have been a very young policeman before becoming an RAF officer.
