No. 46 Squadron, H.M.S.Glorious & Norway 1940

[Hurri600]

Can anyone please help.

I am trying to trace photographs of the Pilots who served with No 46 Squadron prior to them going to Norway and those lost when H.M.S.Glorious was sunk.

Many Thanks
Iain

Hi Iain,
I have a group picture of 46 squadron taken prior to their deployment to Norway.
From memory I believe that the personnel are wearing civilian clothing.
Unfortunately none of those in the picture are identified which is frustrating.
I can let you have a copy though.

As somebody that has done a considerable amount of research into 46 (and 263) Squadron on HMS Glorious and in Norway, I would love to see this piture of the 46 Squadron pilots if possible.
