Re: Blenheim V6022
Hi,
Is there any way I could find out more about the crew involved (things like the length of time they had served with the squadron). (A visit to The National Archives, Kew, will allow you to examine the ORB for No.114 Sqn. This is the War Diary for the unit and gives the previous ops by each crewman.) The navigator (N F Dawson) was an officer. Does this mean he would have served in the RAF/with 114 squadron for some time, or was it common for airman navigators to become officers on completion of training. (Observer was an aircrew trade that could be filled by any Non Commissioned/Warranted/Commissioned Officer. Dawson's service number suggests a recent commission but the London Gazette would confirm the date for this. Long on the other hand gained his P/O rank on 6th Jan 1940). Regards Ross
