SteveB is an unknown quantity at this point
Stan Worbey

According to "Shark Squadron" by Robin Brown this man served with 112Sqdn.

He is recorded as a Sgt on 16/9/43 and again on 13/3/44 when he was shot down by flak during an armed recce. He was captured and then subsequently escaped and hid with an Italian farming family waiting for the front line to reach him. News of his release (now a P/Off) reached 112Sqdn in mid June 1944.
