Wing Commander Douglas Joyce Eayrs (RAFO 26081), CB, CBE, DFC

Hello,

Am looking for a Picture of the late Group Captain Douglas Joyce Eayrs (RAFO 26081), C.B., C.B.E., D.F.C.

He commanded 640 Squadron and flew some missions to Berlin, in 1944.

Hello,

Bill Norman's Archive is in the care of this gentleman:

Might be worthwhile dropping him a line.

Chris and Colonel Bruggy,

Thank you for pointing me to Bill and the new-owner of his archives, which I already contacted.
