Re: 13 squadron pilots and aircrew names needed 1940

[Danny152]

Hi all,

I have a few pleas to follow.

I am trying to find the full names of 4x 13 Sqn pilots from 1939-40. These are.

P/O True
P/O Williams
P/O Keeble
P/O Jenkins

Sorry I don't have much more. I have looked on the list and struggling to locate full names.

Thanks

Danny

Got one, thanks.

- Pilot Officer Peter Langley Keeble

I possibly have Jenkins, or it might be.

- Pilot Officer Reginald Maurice Peter Jenkyns, a strange way of spelling it

[Alex Smart]

Jack Dennis True - 41757.
Geoffrey ,Reginald,Thompson ,Williams - 41765
Peter Langley Keeble - 76585

Reginald Maurice Peter JENKYNS (76584) Served 613 and 214 Sqn no evidence he was your Jenkins on 13 Sqn

[Danny152]

Thanks guys, there was a Jenkins that flew with 13 Squadron, will take a look!

Cheers,

Danny

Hello Danny,
Could your Jenkins actually be P/O. Alaric, JICKLING, 1188398 ?

[paulmcmillan]

I have changed my mind 99% sure he was Reginald Maurice Peter Jenkyns

23/3/40 ORB

P/Officers Keeble, McCartney-Jones, Jenkins were posted this Squadron for flying duties

Keeble and McCartney-Jones are

Peter Langley Keeble 76585 P/O 24.12.39
Christopher Cecil McCartney-Jones 76590 P/O 24.12.39

So Jenkins


Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve.
GENERAL DUTIES BRANCH.
The undermentioned are granted commissions for the duration of hostilities in the
ranks and on the dates stated: —
Pilot Officers on probation.
1st Dec. 1939.
(Seniority 6th Nov. 1939.)

24th Dec. 1939.
Sergeants.


742680 Reginald Maurice Peter Jenkyns(76584)
741131 Peter Langley KEEBLE (76585)
741989 Christopher Cecil MCCARTHY-JONES (76590)

As both Keeble and MCCARTHY-JONES subsequently mentioned in ORB and Jenkins is not - maybe he was JENKYNS and posted out quite quickly


P/O R M P Jenkyns reported to 613 Sqn 18th April just as 613 Sqn B Flight transitioning to Lysanders at Odiham - So my take is he came from 13 Sqn as qualified Lysander and his name is typo in 13 Sqn ORB - If his service record was obtained it would confirm
