F/Lt Dicky Bird 605 Sqn 1941 - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Hi Tom

Thanks for that. It has occurred to me that Dicky Bird may have been only an Acting Flight Lieutenant when posted to Malta in November 1941, so would have actually been only a Flying Officer in the Air Force List!

Incidentally, the Flt Lt Bird of 268 Squadron you mention was A.G. Bird.

Cheers

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the initials of the 268 Bird. Turns out he was an Acting Flt. Lt. at the time himself and a former army officer.

Hi guys

I should have advised those interested earlier, but anyway 'my' Dicky Bird was Surry V.P. Bird, later killed over Hungary as a Wellington pilot/agent dropper with 148 Squadron.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers
Brian
