Re: Fg Off Harper 101 Sqn
Went right the way back in 101 Sqn's F540 to April 1940 when a Plt Off C W Harper was posted in; I believe that this is now 42221 Clifton Watt Harper who would later be awarded the DFC with 113 Sqn and killed with this sqn in June 1942

Re: Fg Off Harper 101 Sqn
104 Sqn appendices show P/O. C.W.Harper as under instruction at the end of November 1939 and in December 1939, before his posting in to 101 Sqn 17/1/40. He is only mentioned once more in 101 Sqn records, as returning to unit from S.O.A.N. St. Athan 13/4/40.

Re: Fg Off Harper 101 Sqn
Hi Chris, I have a photo and newspaper cutting concerning Clifton Watt Harper. He was born 30 Jun 1915 at Palmerston, Frontenac/Ontario. His Obituary says - a former schoolteacher of Northumberland County, he joined the RAF at the outbreak of war and had seen action in England, the Middle East, Java, Sumatra and Singapore. Awarded a DFC in Burma before being MIA. The RAF List seems to suggest he was commissioned 10 Jun 1939 ?
