Hi
Alfred Alexander Payne (Granddad ) was born in November 1900 he joined the Flying Corp 9.8.1917 service no 91018
He was in the RAF between the two wars which we have some details he married and had 4 children
from his records he was in 92 sqdn from 1/11/39 till 5/5/1940 when he went 501 sqdn till 8/7/1940 he then went to 57 OTU Hawarden he then went to Canada 39 SFTS & 35 SFTS till 27/5/1942 when he came back to Uxbridge
he was at Biggin hill from 11/9/1943 till he went to Tangmere in 23/4/1944
he is in the book Ginger Lacy and the picture shows him sitting next Ginger Lacy
We were told he was called Jammy because he got into a few jams when flying and managed to get out
we were also told he was one of the eldest fighter pilots in the second world war
hope this info helps as he seems to have caused lots of interest
