William Lewis THOMAS and F/Lt Peter Rodney HUMPHREY-BAKER

Dear all


I am looking for information about Wing Commander (43115) William Lewis THOMAS DSO DFC and F/Lt (124.720) Peter Rodney HUMPHREY-BAKER DFC, who landed in Sweden after attacking the university of Aarhus on the 31st of October 1944.


I know about the landing in Sweden etc, but I need some information about what unit they were flying in before and what went on after they returned to the UK.


What I really need is also a photo of them. I might have a picture of them in my collection but I have no clue about what they looked like.


Carsten
