The above was on 224 Sqn in Dec 43; would anyone know if this was 116143 Percy Thomas Buckingham?

Hi Chris,

I've a F/L Percival T. Buckingham marrying a Miss Lily F. Cleeve, September 1943, Tiverton, Devon.

Although as your probably aware there is a F/L T BECKINGHAM listed on the ORB's for 224 Sqn for Nov, Dec, 1943

Hello,

Would your query on 85261 F/L Thomas BECKINGHAM RAFVR, be in anyway related to this query I posted on RAFCommands sometime back?
