Re: Flt Sgt Jammy Payne 501 Squadron 1940
I note a mix of RAFVR pilots 74nnnn and a few numbers of RAF boy/aircraft Apprentices that gained their wings.
Loverseed is interesting as he is technically RAFVR from Sept 1939 and it would have been a challenge for him to be operational by May 1940 , however he was a pre-war RAF officer pilot who few for the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War. He was then removed from RAF reserve. He rejoined RAF as NCO in Nov 1939
