Mr Williams D H Mosquito FB VI representative

[andy bird]

I have instances were the surname Mr Williams is mentioned in Portreath 153 Wing diaries from aircrew.

Would anyone happen to know the first initial ? or first name ?

Many Thanks

Hello Andy,


I began to look around regarding 153 Wing which was formed in 1942 and was preparing to be sent to help the Soviets.

"On 5 July 1942, No. 153 Wing RAF was raised in England with the intention of resuming RAF operations on the front. This was a force of four squadrons of Supermarine Spitfires and two squadrons of ground-attack Hurricanes. This would have involved around 2,000 Commonwealth personnel. However, most likely due to increased convoy casualties, the operation was called off and 153 Wing was stood down."

As far as the surname Williams, I ran across this page:

I hope this helps.

Well, it looks like you'll have to tick the Surname box after typing in the name.
