Hello,

Do you know the dates that he served on these ships?

Re: Sgt RC Ford and MSFU

Hi George

I don't have the precise dates for each vessel, but I can give you a time frame if that helps:

41 Sqn, 16 Dec 39-23 May 41
Catapult fighter pilot, MSFU, 23 May 41
Production Test Plt, Hawker Aircraft Ltd, Langley, 23 Jun 42

From my 'Blood, Sweat and Courage' (Fonthill, 2014)

Hope this helps
Steve
