Re: No.254 Squadron .

Well Swifte , I have found that using this forum is a far better place to get information and material than the internet .
This being in the case of my current post on No.254 Squadron , I have tried the internet as you suggested and have found nothing so far on the crew that I am researching .
Also I have made new friends and contacts on this forum which is something you will possibly not find on the net .
As they say " each to their own "

Re: No.254 Squadron .

Hi

If you take a look in Coastal Dawn By Andy Bird there may be a photograph. I don't have a copy to hand. Otherwise let me know and I'll search through the ones I have to see if Murray Shand is amongst them.

Kind Regards

Andy
