Re: Flt Lt Alfred Fane 1 PRU
Andy: Do you know when Fane arrived on 1 PRU and whether he had flown with another unit before? According to the London Gazette, he was commissioned 11 Sep 39 but there is confusion as to his promotion dates-12 Sep 40 as a Plt Off and Fg Off 15 May 40 are both quoted. Apparently extracts of his diary were used in the book 'The Eye of Intelligence' by Ursula Powys-Lybbe. As to photos, I do not think that there is even a pre-war photo of him and I am surprised he was not decorated for what he did.
I think I have worked out his promotions. Commissioned 11 Sep 39 as Plt Off. Confirmed as a Plt Off 14 Oct 40. Promoted to Fg Off backdated to 15 May 40 on 14 Feb 41. Promoted to Flt Lt 14 Oct 41 Last edited by Chris Goss; 24th February 2013 at 14:24. Reason: Typos
