WHEELER, Henry Neil George
Trying to ascertain which Photo Recon squadron Wheeler was on prior to becoming 236 Squadron OC in late November 42, having had a bad car accident.
Many Thanks Andy Bird |

He was initially with the Photo Reconnaissance Unit. See here for details from the man himself in 1991, page 7 onwards: http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafcms/mediafi...D8309AF21E.pdf and here for his career details: http://www.rafweb.org/Biographies/Wheeler_HNG.htm Simon |

Re: WHEELER, Henry Neil George
Hi Andy,
"Nebby" Wheeler had been a photo recce pilot with the PRU (later 1 PRU) since 1940. At the time of his accident, 14Mar42, he was o/c 'A' Sqn 1 PRU and deputy C/O 1 PRU. Once he was suitably recovered he went to take up a staff post at the Air Ministry (Directorate of Naval Co-operation I believe). Best Regards Andy Fletcher

Hello,
Wheeler was involved in at least one other accident. On 22 March, 1938, at Worthy Down, he taxiied No.207 Sqn Wellesley I K7760 into (Wellesley) K7761, which was damaged beyond repair. Col. |

Superb, I was floundering as not having found the actual date, just the month and year. 12 o'clock high forum to the rescue. Best regards Andy Bird |
