Re: 771896 Sgt Mervyn John Fitzhardinge BALDWIN
Hi guys

Known as 'Ginger' it seems that he went to India in 1928 (age 20), perhaps Colonial Office (just a guess).

Might he have learned to fly privately in India? He volunteered for RAF in 1939 age 31, trained somewhere (India?) and joined 27 Squadron (a formerly India based unit) in Malaya in December 1941.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Brian
