S/Ldr Flikens? Flukens? - who was CFI of Nș 54 O.T.U. in FEB/MARCH 1941 ?
Good night to all members.
Am looking for the full NAME and RAF number of the CFI of Nș 54 O.T.U. in February/March 1941 period. It seems it was Squadron Leader Flikens or Flukens, but I have not managed to find a match yet on the full name. Any help most welcomed. baumgartner_asv@yahoo.com.br Adriano S. Baumgartner |

Hello,This link is for the March 1941 Air Force List.
Closest name is Flexen. Perhaps he rose in rank at a later date ? https://digital.nls.uk/british-milit...chive/96120406 Or Sqn/Ldr. M. H. Luker, 1150. Here- https://digital.nls.uk/british-milit...chive/96121330 Alex Last edited by Alex Smart; 28th March 2018 at 03:33. |

Dear all,
Enclosed the signature of the CFI of 54 OTU, whose name I am trying to decipher. Period was February/March 1941. Thanks for any kind of directions. Most humbly yours, Adriano S. Baumgartner Last edited by Adriano Baumgartner; 20th June 2018 at 21:07. |

Possibility here:
https://books.google.ca/books?id=5pi...201941&f=false Discusses being at 54 OTU in September 1941 and wanting to “get away from the OTU in general and the CFI , Sqn Ldr Aikens in particular.” |

The last item on the 2nd link given above is a signed portrait of Aikens. It varies just enough from his signature above that I can finally figure out how you can get "F Aikens" from the way he wrote it.
