Re: Gold Coast
Hello Stephen,
From Bomber Squadrons of the RAF.
"The Squadron was re-equipped with Stirling four-engined bombers(the first of the real heavies) beginning in December 1941 - three months after His Excellency the Governor of the Gold Coast and the Peoples of the Gold Coast territories officially adopted the squadron".
Perhaps the Governor's visit had more to do with the Presentation Wellington's ?
Hope this helps
Alex
