Summer of '42
This picture was taken at a pub in Lincoln in the summer of 1942. The aircrews depicted are from 50 Squadron flying Hampdens from Swinderby.
From left to right are pictured "Wally" Layne, "Woof" Welford, "Johnnie" Tytherleigh (with pipe) and an unknown airman. Wally and Johnnie completed their tours with 50 Squadron. Wally moving onto 97 Squadron was shot down 23 September 1943, captured and taken prisoner he survived the war. Johnnie went to 617 Squadron and was lost on the Dams Raid. The fate of Welford and the nameless airman are unknown to me.
