Re: 157 & 235 Sqn Aircrew Christian names
Hallo Chris,
At present I can only find 912779 Temporary Flight Sergeant Murray Walcott Shand, promoted to Pilot Officer (118814) with seniority from 18 March 1942. What interests me about him is that on 21 March 1942 he was pilot of a 254 Squadron Blenheim that shot down a He 111 of 9./KG 40 off the south coast of Ireland. I only have the pages from the 254 Sqn. ORB concerning that sortie, but he is still described as a F/Sgt. on March 21st. This begs a question from me. Should Shand be shown as an NCO or officer when discussing that combat ? Hope this helps. Martin Gleeson.
