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

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. Mark E. Horan |
